Our verdict
Sitting comfortably in one of the lovely historic shop-front sites, with a courtyard garden adjacent, this eatery offers a simple menu of delicious contemporary food and good wine. Start with a range of tasty little bites, followed by fish en papillote or free-range pork belly. Or ricotta gnocchi? Casual, cosy and considered. A winning combination.
