The people who prepare the delicious food in this little cafe really know their flavours - everything is top notch. And while there are usually a couple of meat dishes vegetarians are well looked after too. Everything you'll try here is excellent... don't miss out on the mixed salads which are truly fabulous.

Modern shop and tasting venue with wines to buy or enjoy in the lounge with nibbles. The idea is based on the enotecas the owners loved in Italy: small, friendly places you could have a glass of wine, some good cheese, and walk away with a bottle recommended by the owner. When they opened they were one of the very first wine bar/shop establishments over here (long before all the hipsters in London started doing it!).
