Homemade specialities around the tacos
Signature dishes, at the pace of the seasonsTacos de gambas never comes alone. Around it, the house serves other homemade specialities that tell the story of who we are: the tomato and burrata tartare, the lamb shank confit with thyme, the childhood macaroni with truffle and, to finish, the outrageous cookie.
The menu stays short and follows the seasons, so some plates disappear then come back, at the market's whim. That's a good sign: it means we cook what's fresh, rather than freezing a menu for the whole year.
