The pictures don't do the food justice. The chef worked at a michelin star restaurant in Copenhagen under a Japanese sous chef, so it was a mix of Japanese, new nordic, and Italian. Sorry to the chef if I have this part wrong... First dish was lentils served with scamorza blended with fermented lemon peels and chilis.

Every dish was presented by the chef (who spent some time working in Denmark and seemed totally devoted to what he does which is always inspiring!). The rest of the staff was nice and most spoke english. We sat outside in the patio which was super cozy (though the chairs are not super comfortable after an hour). If you are in the area I strongly recommend you to visit this place for a unique...
