Absolutely amazing experience! Have been a few times now and the food never disappoints! Really great for grab and go pastries and coffee as well as sit down meals! Would recommend to everyone!
And the staff are amazing!
Just heard about this bistro yesterday,went with my Mam today for lunch😋😋. Very busy but got table very quickly, staff are so nice and friendly, food absolutely fab😋🥰. Owner/ Chef came to speak to us, what a lovely guy, really knows all about food and expectations. Has so much experience worldwide🫡. We will definitely be going back on regularly. Great to finally have a nice place for lunch. I wish him and his lovely staff all the very best for the future. I look forward to when he opens for early bird menu🫠
Six of us had lunch today Saturday 22nd August. Marta served us she was so helpful & explained the menu so well. Nothing was a problem for her. Lovely little spot for lunch.
