This foodie address never disappoints. From the homemade bread and focaccia brought warm to your table, to the industrial-meets-lime-green-velour interior and contemporary part-glass kitchen, this hybrid lounge-bistro-cocktail bar is sensual and chic. Cuisine mixes tripe-type classics with modern dishes (the deep-fried artichoke with creamed potato and bacon is glorious) and, just like the menu, the wall art by the bar changes each season.
