The atmosphere, the staff, and the food all met our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The menu may not be extensive, but it makes for easier and quicker decision-making. We tried the croquettes with radish mayo and fish and chips for our main courses, both of which were delicious. Even the side salad was tasty. We hope to visit this restaurant again in the future. Goodbye!

The three-course menu costs 33.50€ and offers a choice of 3 starters, mains, and desserts each. We started with Georgian pkhali and Sticky Tempeh lemon rib, both of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The main courses were savory and well-flavored, although the portion size was a bit small for my liking. My friends enjoyed the Oyster mushrooms with miso beurre blanc, which was a favorite at the table. Dessert options included cakes and more elaborate choices, such as carrot cake with salted caramel cream and Speculoos ice cream with kabak satlisi. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was calm, and the food was delicious and fulfilling. I highly recommend trying their homemade kombucha as well. Overall, a 5-star experience.
