dinner

Hop on a bike and head just a little north of the city centre for delicious snacks that include soft baguette with lashings of salted butter, mini oozing cordon bleus, and juicy Sicilian olives as a perfect antidote to their excellent wines. The open kitchen gives a more homely feeling to an otherwise sleek interior. Don't skip the caramel-miso tart and soft serve with pecan crunch to fuel the cycle home again.
