Customer Reviews
Absolutely divine - this is such a brilliant little neighbourhood gem that bats waaaaay above its average. The wine list is impeccable and the knowledge of the team is second to none, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is glorious. Highly recommend.
Gorgeous food on white table cloth and the tiny space between tables took me back to a nice bistro in Paris. Service was professional and attentive - they didn’t have birthday candle so gave an actual candle instead. Loved it.
Went for breakfast, it was OK taste and presentation-wise. The waitress was quite confused and did not know the contents of the food. It took some time for the food to appear despite being the only ones in the cafe.
Our ham with eggs, omelette, limonade and coffee were well prepared and tasty. Quantity was ok, although it certainly wasn’t a huge meal. Staff was just lovely and the place is nice and tidy. Prices are fair.
