“I have been here many times in the past but I’ve never reviewed before. This is a favourite restaurant of mine over the years which has always served me amazing food. This is the first time I’ve ordered off the express lunch menu. I had the pea soup with Brie and caramelised onion toastie. The meal tasted amazing and very special flavours. Toastie was melt in your mouth. There was also fresh bread that was gorgeous. My server was funny and attentive. I was well looked after. Highly recommend this place! And good location to Cityside or city centre.”
