Helmed by chef-owner Stephane Istel, this cosy French restaurant is big on heart and flavour. A peek into the open kitchen will show the dedication that goes into the food here. Charcuterie, for one, is made in-house, with favourites being the smoked duck and kurobuta ham and chicken and sunchokes terrine. Tarte flambées are a homage to chef Istel’s Alsatian roots—wafer-thin crusts decorated with generous amounts of bacon, onions and gruyere cheese. If you’re looking for specials, the knowledgeable waitstaff are always game to provide recommendations.
