We sat outside in front of the restaurant and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxed. Occasionally people walked by, but we barely noticed - it still felt cozy and peaceful. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and we always had everything we needed. As starters, we had hummus with pita bread and french fries served with a delicious homemade sauce. For the main course, we ordered a halloumi salad, which was excellent, and dumplings with Greek yogurt that were absolutely incredible. We truly enjoyed the whole experience and loved this place.

What an amazing find. We had started to get fed up with the same menu choices (which are not great for vegetarians) when we found this place. It is 2 minutes from the Tram Stop over the bridge. We had some great wine, some lovely salads and a gorgeous cheese board. I wish I had been a bit hungrier because the burger looked great. The music was chilled jazz which matched the bar perfectly. The service was brilliant, they spoke perfect English and looked after us very well...... ...... and lastly the cat Pickle was a star.
