All our meat is sourced from a local butcher fresh and unfrozen on a weekly basis to keep our food tasting as good as possible. Where possible we try to make all our signature soups gluten free.
Lovely little restaurant with good portion sizes and the most amazing soup you'll ever eat. We attended the jazz afternoon which added extra charm to the cosy vibe of the place. Will definitely be returning!
Wonderful place for fantastic food. The atmosphere was marvellous and inviting and we really enjoyed our visit.
Such a cute and delicious place to go! I visited this lovely bistro with my partner and we were both delighted by a great english breakfast made with fresh ingredients and passion, lovely coffee and service! The atmosphere and interior are one of a kind too! We will be back for sure, as the menù has quite few lovely choices!
