Beautiful little restaurant in a nice, calming location. The lunch menu is excellent and reasonably priced in my opinion for how good the food was - the lamb was especially fantastic. And their desserts were exquisite. Wine selection is great and the service was friendly and attentive. Absolutely returning.

Originally designed as a luxury chalet, featuring ceiling to floor windows, it was reimagined as a restaurant and it\'s hard to imagine it ever being anything else. The place oozed class and ended up as being my favourite meal so far in 2026. I\'m going to be thinking about that steak for a long time. Go out of your way to visit this one.

Best new restaurant in the area, highly recommend. It’s good having an option inland as opposed to the touristy coastal hotspots. Very reasonable prices at the moment, I hope it stays this way.\n\nOur server Jonathan was very good. Welcoming, attentive and talkative. He gave us some great travel tips which was appreciated.
