Description

Are you in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine with Greek influences? Then try, for example, the fried halibut with a chive beurre blanc and trout caviar or the house-made mezze – to share or as a starter. Good produce is used, including meat from Franz Keller and wild-caught prawns. The place has an appealingly trendy bistro look and a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Diners take their seats at regular tables or high tables – the latter offer partial views into the open kitchen. Tip for motorists: public multi-storey car park opposite.
