    Slightly on the pricey side, but the food was very very good and the portions are big. The Jamiroquai background music didn’t really fit the setting, but other than that I do really recommend a visit to Pique-Nique.

    What a fabulous, buzzy place. A few simple but classy food options from the kitchen shared with restaurant Levan next door, and a fantastic drinks menu ranging from mezcal to a handful of well-chosen organic/biodynamic wines by the glass, all served by a really friendly team. Couldn't ask for much more
