This restaurant creates sensory overload! The sight of the small perfectly plated morsals instills pure delight and anticipation. The first bite transports you to Nirvana, you close your eyes and just….swoon. The flavours are so intensly vivid with amazing depth and complexity, ingredients are so perfectly matched whether is sweet or sour, hot or cold, every bite is perfection…..and, in the Tapas menu, you only get a second bite to affirm the delight.
