So tender it falls right apart🤌

Our slow-cooked ox cheek with creamy mashed potatoes, shimeji mushrooms, peas and a rich veal jus is exactly the kind of dinner we start craving as soon as autumn arrives😌🍂

Sunny autumn weekends were made for brunch, no one can convince us otherwise😌

Coffee first, avo toast on the table, a pastry on the side and somehow you end up sitting there way longer than you planned.

Could very happily make this the weekend routine☕️🥐

No tapas night is complete without chorizo, obviously 😌

And ours isn’t just any chorizo. Chargrilled, smoky and served with creamy hummus for a combo that just works.

Add a drink, a busy room and a table full of plates and you’ve basically got the evening sorted🥂

The evenings might be getting cooler, but the terrace isn’t going anywhere. We’ve got the heaters on, the kitchen fired up and plenty of reasons to stay a little longer.

An evening that starts with our signature smoky New Fashion is an evening done well 🍸

A few tapas for the table, something good in your glass and nowhere else you need to be.

A little BTS of how the grilled mackerel comes together 👀

And yes, the lime squeeze is absolutely necessary 🍋‍🟩

One of those plates you’ll want in the middle of the table.
