    Delicious food, the courses were so creative and well thought through. The setting and way the chefs serve the tables was also perfect, not too overwhelming, but really nice to be able to see them plate up each dish in front of you. Also loved the shipping forecast playing in the loos. Delicious cocktails too

    Outstanding experience at Behind. Each course was creative, fresh, and better than the last. The wine pairings were divine, and the service was exemplary.

    Exquisite culinary excellence! Outstanding hidden gem, that is exactly what a restaurant should be unpretentious, exemplary, brilliant service that is friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and professional. The whole experience was wonderful, calm serene and intimate with great lighting, sounds, and the food was beautiful and amazing. Perfection! Four of us went for a lunch with the wine pairing, the front of house / sommelier delivered the information on each wine with warm enthusiasm. The concept with all the chefs explaining the different dishes they served brought the flavour and tastes to the forefront.

    Fantastic experience Intimist venue, food is exceptionally cooked and the service from the entire team including the chefs is incredible. One can see the entire dishes being cooked and you really live them alongside those making them. Some of the dishes were amongst the best we ever tasted. 6 stars!
