Incredible food, especially for food connoisseurs and meat-lovers. Small dishes so you usually order a few, and there is a new menu every day. A little pricey, but definitely delicious!

The food is simply delicious. They offer yummy burgers, heaping portions of fries, salad, but their main offering is hearty and tasty soups, with different kinds offered each day (you can check out their menu for the day on Instagram). There is a second location at 10 Cannon St. E and they each offer different soups each day so you can always check out both menus to see which one you prefer!
