9/10Very calming atmosphere, food is interesting but lots of raw food so if you’re not into it be aware. I think the presentation was well done and while portions are small the menu is overall quite filling

10/10+5We’re warmly greeted on our arrival and staff there are very helpful and proactive, with every answer we asked. The wine food pairing is nice and the look, smell and taste of the dishes are simply superb. Special thanks to Adrian, Fabian and Elisa who carefully and delightfully served us.
