Description
With the feel of a secret spot, the cafe keeps its menu concise and easy to navigate. The kitchen turns out seafood starters like salmon crudo and crab cakes, followed by mains like tender grilled octopus paired with chimichurri and waffle fries. For a vegetarian option, the butternut squash ravioli balances a rich sage butter sauce with a light filling and truffle-seasoned spinach. Servers are patient with recommendations, and the meal wraps up simply with chocolate mousse and iced cappuccinos.
