Description

It might look unremarkable from outside, but there’s plenty of charm hiding within this large brasserie run like a well-oiled machine. Eye-catching beams and wooden mouldings add character to the high-ceilinged room, whose traditional vibe is matched by the food. The menu is resolutely classic, offering generous portions of big-flavoured dishes such as homemade pierogi or pork knuckle with honey-glazed crackling. A friendly team adds to the positive atmosphere.
