The Grand Budapest is an enchanting elixir for a whimsical adventure through elegance and intrigue. Hendrick’s gin, lavender, rosemary, freshly pressed lemon and egg whites. A softly sweet potion which beautifully emulates our favourite Wes Anderson picture. Don’t forget our daily happy hour is 4pm-6pm 💜

Our Parisian Hot Chocolate is available year round but there’s something special about indulging in this delicious treat during the winter months.

A rich, decadent mixture mixed with freshly whipped cream and topped with marshmallows. Need we say more? 🍫

Maybe you’ve seen our á la carte menu. Perhaps you’ve seen our winter set menu. But every week, our chefs conjure up some absolute magic in the kitchen to create our specials board. From mussels, to steak, chocolate mousse & our ever-changing poisson du jour. Presented to you upon arrival, there’s no guessing what could be in store. So isn’t it time you booked to find out? ✨
