A restaurant, wine bar and fermenting kitchen - we're open for lunch Wednesdays to Sundays and dinner all week.

Our menu changes monthly and our cooking is simple and seasonal. It's here we make all our seasonal ferments, pickles and drinks - all of which you can buy ready jarred from our fridge.

Our large kitchen counter is the centrepiece, and you’re invited to grab a seat, order something to eat and enjoy the workings of life in our kitchen. In the evening, the lights go down, dinner is served and you can enjoy wines by the glass and bottle from our ever-changing wine list of natural and biodynamic wines.

    Service was really special, food came out quickly and was delicious. I love the open kitchen concept as someone who went on my own it was something to watch instead of on my phone. For beginning dates I’d recommend sitting on the central island if you’re worried about awkward silences and for more intimate dates to sit along the wine wall. I thought it might be too loud being an open kitchen but I could hear clearly and the candlelight’s were very charming. Super cute!

    We went for anniversary dinner and they set the place indoor as we were afraid of cold. Lamb heart with Pumpkin paste was my favorite dish and wine pairing which the server recommend is really tasty. Love all the foods and open kitchen is quite warming touch. The only thing is they don't give any celebration complimentary dessert like the other restaurants but we end up ordering chocolate dessert and love it.

    Food is always beautifully cooked here with top notch ingredients and interesting and unusual dishes. I always learn a new ingredient. Sitting at the bar allows you to see how a calm but very hardworking and team create the dishes with great intensity but without drama. They are clearly very committed to creating beautiful food and they make everything from scratch. Watching a chef gently work with a trainee making garlic butter was an education in itself. The wines are excellent and slightly off the beaten track and I loved the Spanish orange wine I ordered though it's not for everyone. The reds and whites are also very good. Service was excellent with a lovely and efficient welcome. Always happy to eat here.
