Description

A two-in-one establishment for twice the culinary pleasure: the wine cellar with a focus on biodynamic wines (a hundred or so metres away) and this lovely, little restaurant-cum-neighbourhood hangout, in which friends dine cheek by jowl in a bistro-style interior. The menu focuses on contemporary, locally sourced cuisine that's both healthy and flavoursome (enticing seasonal menu and an excellent value-for-money lunch set menu), eg white asparagus with mousseline sauce and onion pickles, or boudin basque with piment d'Espelette, beetroot and a red wine and beetroot sauce.
