The menu is locally inspired taken from the owner’s family recipes passed down from his mom and grandmother. The family owns a vineyard just outside of the city so the wine menu is entirely their own homemade creations too. Best to reserve +36 30 651 0880. Reasonable prices and romantic for couples if you want to feel like you are dining in a wine cellar :) Closed Sundays and Mondays.
