The food is superb; I'd particularly recommend the accras, soupe métissée (with mackerel) and morue gratinée (morue is cod). Olivia, who does all the cooking, is nothing short of a culinary genius; she's also lively, witty and great company. And the prices are unbelievably low. This is cordon bleu cooking at takeaway prices. Small but excellent range of wines, too.Just two words of warning. First off, be sure to book: like I said, it's very small and deservedly becoming extremely popular. Secondly, don't be in a hurry: on those days when Olivia's partner is away, she's doing everything, the cooking and the front-of-house, so service can be very slow.But believe me - it's worth the wait.
