✨ HighlightTravelling as two ladies, Food portion is huge so if you are a couple don’t order anything more than 2. The set for 2pax cost 200 it is great to experience more dishes but definitely too much for 2, you can take away if you cannot finish but alternatively, we ordered only 1 main dish and 1 appetizer and that was perfect. We went at around 5pm and it was not crowded at all. Atmosphere here is fantastic, great for photo taking but lightings are quite dim so for travelling who wants photo, consider going there earlier→
