Reviews

So I checked this place out as it was close to me and the reviews praised it to high heavens, so I wanted to find out what's all the fuss is about. And I can tell you it IS amazing and here's why: The food is perfect! • We tried lamb and veal and both were just gorgeous. Perfectly cooked meat, the right amount of chewy and the right amount of "melt-in-your-mouth". • We tried the homemade ice cream. The ginger-caramel flavour was superb. The wine selection great. • The starter with homemade bread and tapas was amazing as well as even the sides for the main. For a full course meal expect around 20€ per person. It's really worth it, though, for the flavour and the amount of food. Besides the food, the atmosphere was really nice and cozy, really did feel like home. Also, the waitress was just a sweetheart, very helpful and able to explain everything on the menu. Never felt more inclined to leave a tip. The only downside is that not everyone might be able to notice that there's a fantastic restaurant there as from the outside the place just looks like art gallery/bookstore. However, once you find it you'll fall in love.

Stunning location, not easy to find, on the upper floor of a gallery. Friendly and quick service, beautiful tableware, small but well selected choice of wines and beers. There are only a few different dishes available, coming with homemade bread and dips as well as salads, that were exceptionally good. Main course was also good, my suggestion is to go with meat. Very cool experience, at a reasonable price for the quality provided.

The interior is very cozy and charming in a bohemian kind of way, perfect for a romantic rainy autumn evening. The menu is short, the food - simple, but very well done, better than expected. The girl waiting on us was super nice. Overall a very pleasant experience, highly recommend.
