The classy yet cosily chummy setting provides the perfect foil to dishes of the likes of carpaccio of scallops enhanced by a sea urchin mayonnaise or free-range chicken served with a truffle-flavoured gravy. Wine buffs will be enchanted by the cellar, which stars mostly French wineries, with the odd international gem. The desserts are also meticulously crafted, illustrated by two signatures: soufflé à la chartreuse and lemon tart with a limoncello sabayon. This smart venue manages to combine fine dining with a friendly buzzy vibe.
