I typically don’t write reviews, but I had to share my experience at this hidden gem! Tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood, this cozy restaurant was alive with energy while maintaining a warm and welcoming vibe. I went for the five-course chef’s selection menu and was blown away by the amazing flavors. The à la carte options looked fantastic, too! The balance of flavors was spot-on, and the service was friendly and attentive. Honestly, if a few minor details were polished, I’d consider this place Michelin-level—I've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants that didn’t impress me as much.

Read moreWell well well what a place. Super small and cosy. Atmosphere is great and you just want to stay there for many many hours.
Lets move to service. Server was great and funny loved the way he cared for each customer. You could joke around and have some nice discussion.
Next is interior which was super small and cosy. Loved all the elements unfortunately did not take any pictures.
Now we move to starters. My personally starter was super great loved salami its was super. The only thing I would add or change is to add some rye bread and pickled onions. My friends also loved their starters all of them are super good.
Lets move to main. Iberico ribs are amazing loved them soooo much I want them to eat every day. I am not vegetables person but they have been selected perfectly everything matched and balsamic vinegar glazing is superb and adds super nice flavour.
Overall experience was awesome can't wait to visit...
