Nab an open-window bar seat for street-watching or settle in for dinner. Longtime patrons make a routine of the mackerel pâté and flamed chorizo before moving to the Cowra lamb rack with green velouté. The cellar wanders across Europe, pouring regional finds from Portuguese sparkling reds to skin-contact Serbian varietals, while floor staff track repeat orders without missing a beat.
