East meets West at this restaurant, where chef Alexander Ioannou spices up familiar flavours with subtle touches of acidity and an interplay of exotic seasonings. This is creative cuisine that packs a punch, but for all the complexity of its flavours, it is very easy to enjoy – just take a look at all the happy faces around you. The chef likes to come to the table to present his signature celeriac dish. You might want to congratulate him on his fabulous creation: He imbues thin slices of celeriac with smoke on the barbecue and combines them with a celeriac cream, a perfectly runny egg and a robust hollandaise sauce. A creamy garlic sauce provides the necessary finesse, shavings of black truffle add their distinctive fragrance. The open kitchen, to the rear of this trendy establishment, means you can watch the spectacle of the chefs at work. This is a laid-back setting place in which to discover a host of new flavours – and that goes for the wine too; the dedicated sommelier will enthusiastically guide you through the list. One final tip: Be sure to book because this place has plenty of fans.
