What you should know

The kitchen

The meze menu changes daily according to what's fresh, for instance oysters with kimchi, crispy fried artichokes with sheep's cheese, mussels with almonds, creamy hummus and bread with anchovies and butter. Alongside that, torched tuna with olive oil and cheese, tender chicken with walnut sauce and browned butter.

Atmosphere

Small, packed, electrifying: a cosy bar with an open grill station and direct contact with the team. A place for long evenings, spontaneous encounters and the feeling of being exactly where you should be. In summer, also set up with standing tables outside!
