Start with river oysters and continue to the beef tartare. Both are fresh and well-presented, perfect to perk up your palette. Have a sip or two of wine from their extensive list, or opt for a signature cocktail (try the Love Affair, made with passion fruit, vodka, St. Germain, and an egg white) and prepare for some tasty mains like the javali (wild boar) risotto and the octopus served with broccoli couscous. The star of the show was the sticky date pudding served with creme fresh. It’s served warm and gooey and will have you primed to recline…and not alone. This spot is perfect for a romantic evening out, or a casual bar-side evening with snacks and cocktails.
