This super discreet eaterie hidden amongst the art galleries and antique shops of this trendy neighbourhood is all about the food and relaxed vibe. Seasoned chef and restaurateur David Lea, who cut his teeth in California before a more formal training under Alain Ducasse in Monaco, lets his food speak for itself with a delightful and regularly changing seasonal menu that covers Italian and French bases. Ease in gently with padron peppers, assorted salami, gooseneck barnacles from Kyushu or beef tripe gratin – all beautifully sourced and sensitively cooked. Classics include zucchini or sea urchin risotto, wagyu tartare, or a daily fish bouillabaisse. But what sets these creative dishes apart is the peerless technique in the kitchen
It's a cosy, casual but pleasant space with flattering, soft lighting and, understandably, many regulars.
