The quality of the food was outstanding, the attention to detail with the presentation of the meals was appreciated, servings were generous and it was value for money at €40 for a two course lunch. The service was polite and attentive and the room is beautiful. Ideal for a meal when you want to catch up, you have plenty of room between tables and it feels private. Visiting feels like a treat. Loved it and will come back.

This is a super restaurant. Full marks all round. I had vegetarian option, which was delicious, but would love a vegan option also, especially dessert. The bathroom hygiene & decor was of an outstanding standard, as was the dining areas also. Happy customer 😋
