STEAMED SWEET OR SAVORY BAO BUN- 6EUR/2PIECES -The steamed pork bao make for a fragrant and satisfying savory snack.They are both juicy and full of flavor.

-If you’re a regular dim sum restaurant goer, you probably have tasted steamed custard buns (Nai Wong Bao, 奶黄包), a classic Cantonese treat made of leavened dough and an egg-milk based sweet filling. We absolutely adore its fluffy, cotton-like texture and creamy, fragrant taste.

So many flowers so little time, grab them while you can.

Back in the days, “Etrangler un perroquet” or to strangle a parrot, meant  “to drink a glass of absinth”, hence the name of this absinth.
Allthough the drink is not as strong as the other drinks on this list, we love to showcase this rare and often misunderstood spirit. The recipe of the Chrysanthemum as in most cocktails, highlights in a perfect way how extreme ingredients can be used to blend in harmoniously and create a thing of beauty greater than the sum of its parts.

Baijiu for those who don’t know is the most sold spirit in the world. It varies in style but the one we serve here is about the most funky you can get, sauce style. Together with our mirabelle liqueur it creates a smooth, powerfull almost creamy like drink.

Choosing a drink shouldn’t be a wearisome task; it should be fun. If, however, you’re having trouble finding something you like on the menu, simply tell us what you want. We actually enjoy the challenge of finding you that perfect drink.


Apart from the strong stuff, we prepare most of the ‘extras’ - sodas, liqueurs, syrups, infusions, juices and kombucha - in house. In everything we create, we try to use the very best ingredients, sourced seasonally and locally wherever possible. Doing so helps us take the ‘guilt’ out of your guilty pleasure.



We choose to work with companies and individuals who create products we are proud to stand behind. The people we partner with (from farmers to brewers, distillers, and, yes, even cheese mongers) put quality, integrity and sustainability at the forefront of what they do.
