First of all their website is very misleading- you are not going to a posh restaurant, it is a rough place, hipster-ish but with a good atmosphere, live jazz music and fantastic cuisine.
The idea is you opt for a three course meal - soup, main course(s) and a dessert- however the only choice about the meal your are going to have is between vegetarian, meaty or a fishy set. That is all, nothing more. Two chefs just prepare exotic, delicious meals, one after another, all different and of great quality each. You are about to come across three of them (bearing in mind that there is always the vege/meat/fish set available). Next table may be served with something totally different.
I did not expect that, it took me few moments to understand the idea, but everything what happened next totally bought me. The food was delicious, variety and quality of wines is good, all accompanied by a jazz band.
This is not a place for a first date, but definitely for a second. And it has got full of people very quickly so booking advised.
I am definitely going to come back and find out what would I be served next time.
Aside of that, I tried to calculate how this place can be profitable - with all their offer,size and pricing- barely. This is why there must be something more over there and this, I believe, is passion for food. 5 stars from me as I really enjoyed the adventure- even though I did not know what I was going to eat next.
