“What an absolutely smashing little gem! This cosy restaurant boasts a delightful atmosphere and the most attentive, smiley staff you could hope for.
The food, however, is the true star of the show – exquisitely crafted modern Asian dishes that are quite simply out of this world. Every bite is sheer perfection.
As someone who is lactose intolerant, I was a tad disappointed to find I couldn’t indulge in any of their desserts. But the wonderful team went above and beyond, whipping up a sublime lactose-free treat for me on the spot. Needless to say, it was positively delicious.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It’s an absolute must-visit that will undoubtedly become one of your favourite haunts. Simply top-notch!
