A cosy hideaway that’s good for a bite at any time of the day or night but is particularly renowned for its insanely good Sunday-only brunch offerings, the buzzy restaurant serves French regional cuisine revisited by illustrious chef Alain Senderens. There’s also a pizzeria at the front and bar staff that enthusiastically prepare delightful cocktails at the island bar. There’s usually live music and DJs at weekends or, if you’re in the mood to throw a private party, the roof terrace is available for rent for up to 18 people during the warmer months.
