Loved the food! We had a selection of foods we haven't had yet and we're pleasantly surprised by the amount of amazing flavours, textures and ingredients! The cheviche was my favourite! Lovely waitress that comes from Peru herself; owner run. Quirky & energetic energy. Loved it and definitely recommend!

Great Christmas menu, and excellent value. I had the vegan option . The portions were generous* we received 2 sides and crackers on top of our two main dishes and it fed us for a day afterwards! Delicious.
