Description
By day, this quiet spot offers a compact breakfast and lunch menu, featuring dishes like moist ricotta pancakes and a thick-patty salmon burger. The space has a modern design with dimensional white walls and precise lighting, though tables near the entrance can be drafty on cold days. In the evening, the atmosphere settles into relaxed seating areas and quiet nooks. Alongside weekly live music, the bar serves natural wines, micro-brews, and spirits, including their house specialty, a.vod.
