Beautiful food, presented in an artful way with immaculate service. Tasteful place settings and decor in the restaurant, incongrut in a less than pretty neighbourhood.
25 euro for a five course (all served at once) tasting menu at lunchtime, including coffee. Everything was alive with flavour and perfectly seasoned. All our options were vegan and included beautiful artichoke cream, gnocchi, vegetables in sticky sesame sauce, stuffed peppers in a satay sauce, and a light and creamy, satisfying coconut cream strawberries with syrupy cake. Finished off with an intense espresso. We were dying to try the selection of home-made vegan cheeses (30 euro for 7 or so) but couldn't fit more in. Highly recommended but very dear if you go off the tasting menu!
