Usually very busy restaurant and only a few minute’s walk done the apartment. It’s great for a quick meal although there can be long queues when the city is busy. If you don’t feel like cooking you can order takeaway on their website which we often do.

This is one of our favourite places to eat however it is one for the devoted foodie. Whilst the decor is not to everyone's taste, the food is excellent.
