Always bustling with locals, the lounge-like venue sports a distinctive, cheerful floral banquette and mural. The kitchen signs simple, modern dishes that juggle stronger examples from Italian and French traditions. Flavours are nicely dialled in and expertly balanced. The vinaigrette that comes with the grilled zucchini and mozzarella salad is spot-on with a citrusy sour sweetness. Sip a cocktail (or two) at the bar before or after the meal.
