I went there for a light dinner with my colleagues last week.
One of us was not too big on meat, so we were hoping for some good vegetarian options. We arrived about 30 min after opening time, and the place was not very busy (only two other tables were occupied). The interior was very charming, with richly-coloured walls and cute wooden tables. The lighting was dim, so we picked the table with the brightest lamp.
We each ordered an entree - three of us ordered the Otto salad, while I got the homemade tofu. We decided to share one set of 6 chicken skewers and one set of 6 vegetarian skewers. In addition, we ordered two chicken oysters skewers just to try. The food came fairly fast, and the skewers were absolutly delicious!! The vegetarian ones, which comprised of fried tofu, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, brussel sprouts (x2) and mushrooms, were especially good - it was like an ode to the Maillard reaction! The chicken ones were also very nice. It was great to see the use of different parts of the bird, instead of sticking to the same old legs, thighs, wings and breasts. The oysters (which are a well kept secret of the chicken anatomy) were plump and tender, and wrapped in a flavourful layer of chicken skin (which could have been grilled a bit more to let some oil out). Unfortunately, the homemade tofu was a bit of a let down. The texture was very grainy, despite the silky appearance. A finer mesh should probably be used during its fabrication.
Note: Service was fast, but a bit simple. Questions about dishes were unsatisfactorily answered, and the four of us had to share two menus. Pricing was ok, but can probably go up very fast if ordering is enthusiastic.
