This is a place where you can rediscover the pleasure of being with friends and family. Take your time— the owner will let you know what dishes have been freshly prepared that day. Relax and enjoy: the food is absolutely a blast. Don’t judge by appearances—just book a table and treat yourself to great food at a very affordable price. Alcohol isn’t sold here, but you’re welcome to bring your own bottle of wine!

This is a very tendy, cool restaurant. The owner told us it was by reservation only and they open at 7pm but was kindly able to seat us. He was very charming and charismatic and knows his industry! They do not serve alcohol but you’re allowed to get drinks from the off licence next door and consume them with your meal. Prices are very, very reasonable and the food was amazing. Unfortunately we were a bit rushed upon our visit but would love to retun and spend longer there!
