With it’s focus on French cuisine and French wines this beautiful new restaurant does it all so well. It’s fine dining, sophisticated and welcoming, there is the dining room, along with an art gallery space and a couple smaller rooms for enjoying a more private experience.
Kerracha espresso
I have enjoyed a couple of dining experiences for dinner along with a day time visit for coffee and weekend Afternoon Tea, they have the top of the line Mod system for coffee and I have enjoyed a few brews. Coffee is serious here and they feature a selection of local roasters coffees, the Single origin Ethiopian Kerrecha espresso was a beauty before dinner.
