We love this tapas restaurant and its owner, the very friendly Serge. Tables are shared, and the food and cocktails are just great. Book in the basement, it's more fun (though a little noisy).

A big yum for this trendy pizzeria. A treat! Subdued lighting, skylights, dark trunks - it's "chic and shock". Consider booking, it's often crowded and service is a little stiff.
