What a fabulous, buzzy place. A few simple but classy food options from the kitchen shared with restaurant Levan next door, and a fantastic drinks menu ranging from mezcal to a handful of well-chosen organic/biodynamic wines by the glass, all served by a really friendly team. Couldn't ask for much more
