Decent bistro-style food in a light and airy space.

So about a week ago when walking to Uni I saw that what used to be the Pink Olive was being transformed and taken over.

The food was fantastic. My sister, brother-in-law, and I had a wonderful meal this evening and they also loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food at this restaurant is delicious. I tried the haggis bonbons, braised pork belly, and elderflower jelly and loved every single bite.
