About this place
A showcase inside the bistro displays an inventive line-up of handcrafted cheesecakes. The signature Basque cheesecake features a deep, aromatic caramelized surface that opens to a moist, velvety interior. Crafted with restrained sweetness to emphasize the natural richness and savory depth of the cheese, it is specifically composed to pair with meals and wine. Variations range from a pumpkin base dusted with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano to a chestnut cheesecake layered with mascarpone mousse, with many guests stopping in specifically for takeaway slices.
The kitchen caters just as thoroughly to savory dining through lunch and dinner. Midday offerings include lamb and napa cabbage curry, bone-in chicken thighs braised in noble rot dessert wine, and seasonal potages or clam chowder sets. In the evening, the à la carte menu leans further into wine-friendly fare, such as handmade gnocchi enrobed in a rich Gorgonzola cream or lamb and cannellini beans braised in white wine, served with bread.
The cellar menu includes red and white wines by the glass alongside orange wines and dessert vintages, encouraging diners to explore complementary pairings with food and cake. With both counter and table seating, the space maintains a calm, welcoming rhythm suited to a quiet solo coffee break or an evening lingering over a glass of wine.
