The place is really charming, modern and accommodating.
The staff are a bunch of good-looking genuinely friendly hard-working chaps, and they made my experience something really enjoyable.
The menu had a mix of classics and innovative dishes, and they have specials of the week. Plus a large selection of baked sweets.
I had one of
the specials, the octopus dish, which had a very tender flavorsome
octopus, not chewy at all, on a bed of lentils, fennel and citrus mayo.
The dish was generous in size and fully satisfying regarding flavour.
However, I missed a bit of more texture in the dish, and a bit of more
citrus anything, as the wedge of lemon and mayo were not enough, at
least to me.
As a dessert I had one of their wonderful apricot tartlets. It was uber-fresh, fluffy, moist and full of flavor. However, I was disappointed that, despite apricots being in season, the tartlet had a compote of apricot not full pieces of the fruit. I think that would have got the tartlet to the next level.
My iced latte was very good and a great size!
I loved the cafe, the staff and their food options. A bit of more finesse and they would get a five star from me.
