Three ways to eat with us
1. Sit down. Come in, pick a table and scan the QR code on the table to order from your phone. You see what you are about to send before it goes to the kitchen, and you can order again later; everything stays on one tab. You pay at the counter, by card or on the reader.
2. Take it away. Order on this website for pickup at a time you choose. Everything is cooked fresh, so the earliest time is about 30 minutes from now. Larger pickup orders are paid online when you order, smaller ones you can pay at the restaurant.
3. Book a table. Reserve a table with your name, phone number and email, and we send a confirmation. You can also pre-order dishes for your booking, so the food is ready when you sit down.
