food menu
It’s a sizeable space, well able to cope with the lunchtime rush (the takeaway menu is popular too), and the courtyard terrace is an enticing corner on warm days.
Choices are few and daily-changing, while the chalkboard menu and standard sauce bottles signal a back to basics approach, but the cooking is nonetheless precise: a chard frittata featured a crisp contrast of finely shaved, vibrantly dressed fennel.
The minimalism sometimes goes awry: wild salmon gravadlax came without sauce, nor dressing on the watercress or butter for the rye bread – one of these, at least, would have been welcome.
An indulgent summer berry ‘crisp’ with its pot of rich cream set the world to rights, however.
Drinks, too, are few but well chosen and carefully served.
