I haven't enjoyed a meal so much in a long time! The dishes are deceptively simple - fried fish on ciabatta might sound a bit dull, but it was spectacular! Flaky, fresh hake, a wonderful crisp batter, aioli, some boiled eggs, little pea shoots - it was everything you could ever dream of in a fried fish sandwich. We also tried the rabbit saddle, which was in a clear broth but was so richly flavoured, and infused with rosemary (or perhaps thyme?) that it felt quite decadent. The lamb kidneys on sourdough were wonderful too - I love kidney, but these were like the kidneys of my childhood on steroids. Yum! The decor - like the food - is very pared down, but does exactly what it needs to do. One suggestion: if you're used to more elaborate meals, order several things to share, so you get a good idea of the breadth of the offering.
