Absolutely beautiful place, staff were very friendly even though it was very busy but the food I had was unfortunately barely edible the "cheese" sauce tasted quite funky and artificial

Popped into this quaint bar for a quick lunch with my lovely partner and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, bar staff were welcoming, and our server Phoebe was chatty and friendly. She asked me a bit about Canada, my home country.🇨🇦 Would recommend and will definitely be back. Real gem in the heart of the city.
