Such a lovely place to celebrate my birthday!! Food was incredible, the owners/chefs came out to meet us & were so passionate about their place.Great experience all round!!

I place fault directly with the cuties on staff for ruining my palette for anywhere else. Cocktails, plates, dessert, so on point - JUST GO ALREADY.

Great little neighborhood spot with excellent food & service. Chef owned & operated, can't go wrong with anything your order. We had the stracciatella (a must!), the ray & the duck & all were excellent. Went on tuesday night & we were lucky to be served by the chef owners who described each dish with such passion! highly recommended spot!

En arrivant nous étions surpris à quel point il y avait peu d'espace pour s'asseoir au point que c'était impossible de se lever sans accrocher le monde au bar & à la table d'à côté. La serveuse nous donnait des excellentes recommandations pour certains plats comme le plat de stracciatella (voir photo) & le gateau bananes par comme d'autres plats qu'on choisissait étaient moins bons comme le tartare de boeuf qui ressemblait à du steak haché & la salade. Les olives étaient quasi voir totallement pourries aussi dans notre martini.

Always an amazing experience at Denise. Inventive yet unpretentious menu, in a beautiful cozy space. Our server was down to earth & really knowledgable, the food was paced perfectly, the wine selection & cocktails are awesome. Denise never misses!!

Loved it, small & intimate place but the food is delicious & the service was cozy. Chef even came & brought my plate, participating with the waiting staff

My sister brought me there for the first time this last summer for my birthday, & I fell in love with the place. Food, wine, cocktails, service & vibe all made me feel really good. Really, there was just nothing about my night that kind of felt off : I enjoyed all of it!
I highly suggest you be careful going there though : it feels like you're entering into another dimension where all your concerns -& good resolutions- are quickly forgotten. Be advised!

Well, that was divine! All of my senses are thrilled (by food, music, wine, & service). I very much salute you, keep doing what you do

Wow!! Drove by this little spot one night .. said to myself this looks like it could be good . & Wow! Was I right ! 10/10! Little 25 seater .. sat at the bar . Service, food & drinks were 10/10! Owners / chefs were very friendly & passionate about their food.
Bartender/ waitress ( Stella) very nice & recommended amazing dishes . I'm on a no alcohol vibe now so they had some cool options! My wife tried some cocktails & wine & she loved it ! Will 100% go back !
Also very well priced ! We had 5 dishes, 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine , 2 non alcoholic beers. 150$ before tip & tax .

Everything was SUPERB. From the service, to the unique wine list & the food was out of this world. Each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. I liked that there's vegan, vegetarian & pescatarian friendly options. If you're thinking of going this is your sign.

You might walk in & think, what is this place. But I assure you, it is a well kept secret. From a cool vibe to an expertly crafter service, genuine & cool & nice to a cuisine that is not afraid to surprise you, everything in this place is perfection. & it will make you want to come back again & again.

Went there for the bao buns & matcha pop up, drinks were amazing & so was the food ! Super flavorful & unique. Service was as fast as can be during a pop up, limited seating but we really enjoyed the vibe.

Pork Echine, Garlic Scapes, Olives, Chamomile, Japanese Whiskey Tare 🐷❤?🥃
I have to honestly say that @cafedenise is probably one of my favorite experiences I have had in 2025 so far. If you can go there & eat modestly it won't be too expensive but to be honest with you the portions are a little bit small but flavor packed. I wish they were a little bit larger but otherwise amazing.
It's Tapas style dishes meaning they're really meant to share & each one that we had was better than the next . For me the star of the show was the pork, a absolutely flavor sensation the whiskey you taste that tare gives a #umami bomb everything extremely well balanced.
We got other star dishes like there halibut Crudo with passion fruit there Caesar salad that had fresh anchovies marinated accompanied with Nordic shrimp, this Buratta dish that honestly left me pretty speechless I've never had a dish prepared this way with Beretta & honestly 11 out of 10! Everything just kept getting better & better & better even the end of the meal where we had their Basque cheesecake with Thai tea & dolce de leche was FOODGASMIC 🙌.
It's hard to kind of pinpoint the exact Style of food but you can clearly see that they take elements from Japan, elements from Thailand as well as French cooking techniques it's really a spectrum of everything but if I had to guess their influence is more in the Asian sector but fine dining flare! I've been twice so far in a 3 week span & I'm definitely going to come back again!
The Two Chefs in the kitchen both own the restaurant & so far are absolutely killing it great job guys!

Petites portions à partager. On a consommé deux plats par personne en plus d'un dessert & j'avais encore fin en quittant :(. Je n'ai pas tant trippé sur la bouffe malheureusement.
C'est chouette de manger en terrasse!

Un de nos restos préférés pour une date décontractée, on ne s'en lasse pas. Il s'agit d'un petit local en long avec la cuisine ouverte au fond. L'ambiance est très cool & invitante. On y mange des petits plats soigneusement travaillés, les saveurs sont toujours au rendez-vous. La cheffe est adorable & vient souvent servir un plat avec le sourire. Les vins & cocktails sont tout aussi soigneusement choisis. Le service est amical, attentif & relax. Ce resto, c'est un petit bijou.
