Petite indeed in size, but flexing grand culinary muscles, this place offers beautifully presented modern gastronomic fare, with more than a nod to the new Nordic cuisine's foraging ethos. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming rather than intimidating or formal, so the stage is set for a top dining experience. Reasonably priced wine flights are available for all menus.
