a week agoFrom the moment we walked in, this beautiful fish restaurant felt special. We both ordered the cod, and honestly, they served the biggest, most generous pieces of cod we’ve ever seen — perfectly cooked, flaky, and full of flavour. The atmosphere matched the food: warm, relaxed, and buzzing in the best possible way.It’s clearly a popular spot. Throughout our meal I saw several people turned away at the door, so you absolutely need to book if you want to guarantee a table. With food this good, it’s no surprise they’re in demand. Thank you for a gorgeous meal 🥰
