  • XO prawn omelette

    I am in love with the XO prawn omelette, . Its so soft and just melts in the mouth. The sour dough bread soaks up all of the XO sauce and is delicious!

  • pho

    The pho is a real highlight, deeply aromatic broth, well-balanced seasoning, and generous portions that feel both nourishing and authentic.

  • Custard coconut coffee

    Loved all the drinks options here to and steered away from my usual coffee for a Custard coconut coffee instead. It was really good, as was the friendly attentive service.

  • truffled eggs

    We had great truffled eggs and omelette, and the truffled eggs especially were AMAZING. Served in a little cast iron pot with a nice crust around the eggs and cheese, so creamy and truffly and delicious.
