Not so impressive overall! Location is good, interior and atmosphere are very nice. Food is average for me, especially the starters, main dish was better, I tried the sea bass. I don’t understand the vegetarian option of the starters, they are named like the Lebanese mezza, but the taste and display was far away from them! The service was bad for me, the waiter served everyone wine except me, and she didn’t bother herself to apologize when I asked for wine. Very tough and almost throwing the dishes!

Soooo delicious!! How they have made bread, an egg and ham so ridiculously tasty is beyond me. The building and decor is beautiful and the perfect meeting spot with friends.

Highly reccomend going here for breakfast, lunch, dinner or afternoon tea. The selection of ingredients is so fresh and rustic and the plating for the price is exceptional. ❤️

I also have quite the sweet tooth and the creme brûlée was perfectly crispy and the hints of flavourings were so cozy. Definitely give the desserts a shot 😋

The food was delicious, inventive and beautifully arranged. We shared the roast aubergine as a starter, I das the risotto with poached egg, spinach and mushrooms and my Boyfriend had the celeriac steak with polenta. As a dessert we shared the churros (absolute highlight)
Located in a large, glass greenhouse-like building with fairy lights and high ceilings, the experience could not have been better… that is, it the service were up to the standard of the restaurant… it was disappointing to say the least. It took a while until we could even place the drinks order and then a longer while until the drinks arrived. And it wasn’t full. I understand the sentiment of giving the guests time to talk and experience the surroundings but this was a bit extreme. The waiters only came to the table when absolutely necessary, no one checked on us to see whether all is well and when they removed the main plates, they removed everything, including the remaining bread and olive oil that we wanted to finish. But okay… tab water cost extra because it was “purified” which is a greedy move for a restaurant that charges you 12€ for a glass of wine.
Sadly not the best experience although the food was amazing

Place is very nice, the indoor has a beautiful aesthetic and the outside is a lovely space with greens all around. It was pleasant getting a table there.

The food was honestly dissatisfying. The cheesy gambas prawns has flavours that are disjointed. The salmon dish was dry. The saving grace is the mackerel fish, which paired very nicely with the tomato-based sauce.

Service left much to be desired. It was hard to get the attention of the servers, and when you do, they just seemed unhappy serving you.

It is a beautiful spot, would just recommend against some of those we ordered.

I was really looking forward to trying this place however I have to say I was a bit disappointed with a few things:
1. After our appetizers, our main course took really long, over half an hour.
2. We didn’t get any bred to start like all the other tables around us

Besides this, the atmosphere was good and the food was great however previous points impacted a lot my experience.
