The subtle lighting, candlelit tables, and three crackling fireplaces add to the cozy atmosphere of the place, making it the perfect spot for a romantic evening or a catch-up with friends.

In the serene treed courtyard outside, you’ll find shelter from the winter chill, with fairy lights, heaters, twinkling candles, and greenery creating a magical space for brunches, lunches, or dinner soirées.
