Wow. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The Cornish hen & beef cheek falling off the bone, the cod cheeks absolutely bursting with flavour. Wow!!!
On top of that, the service was impeccable. Phil was so warm & inviting, & our food arrived in nicely timed, well-served portions.
This restaurant is fresh, authentic & a unique approach to North African food. The Italian influence is subtle, but present. To top it all off, the wine selection is greatly curated, & their sommelier (who is surprisingly young!) is incredibly knowledgeable.
Would highly recommend.View more

Les salades sont bonnes. Le reste, passableView more
Tout était excellent. La joue de boeuf fondait dans la bouche, les tagliatelles étaient vraiment frais & la sauce au veau généreuse. Toutefois, mon plat préféré fut le poisson bar. Nous avons demandé du pain pour nettoyer l'assiette. Je n'aimais pas les sardines mais ils ont réussi à me faire aimé les leurs. Belle sélection d'alcool. Ambiance & service A+View more

The service was exceptional, especially thanks to our waitress, Alizée, who made fantastic recommendations. Even though I'm not a fan of sardines, her enthusiasm sold them, & I was pleasantly surprised by how well they were prepared. The vibe of the place was perfect for a date night-charming & relaxed.
