Rimini


For an adult aperitivo, this trendy newcomer is a solid bet. This spot boasts excellently mixed cocktails and sophisticated tapas led by a creation after our own hearts: the scarpetta (tomato sauce with shallots and black olives; €5.50). It's a genius take on the Italian act to 'fare la scarpetta' (sopping up your leftover sauce with bread), served as simply the sauce itself. Fantastic!

Choose from the bistro-like front room or escape to the cosy, cabin-esque back room.
