The dessert blew my mind, there was a really great savouriness and incredible fig jam that cuts through the richness of the coconut ice cream, it blew my mind. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

We opted for the set menu and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The dessert was a delightful conclusion to the meal. We left feeling very satisfied with our dining experience.

The only drawback was the outdoor seating. We had hoped for a cosier atmosphere, perhaps with heaters or some sort of barrier to shield us from the chilly winds. It was absolutely freezing outside.
