First of all, this is a must go place because of the fixtures and that vintage feeling, however I felt quite odd walking in as it was lunch and 90% of the crowd was using laptops while dining there.
It was like a confusion of the past and the future at the same time.
There is NO MENU at all but they do roast chicken and beef as well as soup which was what I went there for.
I was really looking forward to the Cappelletti in Brodo which I haven't even seen at the Italian restaurants I have dined so far.
It is basically cappelletti in a chicken and beef broth made from the chicken and beef bones from the roast meats.
The broth is simply comforting like Jewish Matzoh soup, a light consommé of soup with a strong chicken taste and then you have these delicious cappelletti filled with finely grounded meat inside.
They were so delicious with the black pepper, parmesan and chopped parsley.
It was served with a lovely crusty bread smothered in proper salted butter by Lakeland.
Although a light lunch, it was really satisfying and worth travelling here for it.
The owners are really friendly and hide no secrets about the food and ingredients.
On the corner, there is a beautiful working vintage toaster which they still use.
A year later, I returned for the chicken escalope which was just as amazing, I knew I had to have it when I saw a fresh batch of escalope.
The escalope sandwich was amazing with simple onions, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato.
I also had a doughnut which was supplied by a local bakery as they looked good.
The doughnut was not bad as it was not oily and well filled with blackcurrant jam.
