Food
Chef-patron Reuben Riffel’s culinary talents simply get better with age, as does his spruced-up, ever-popular eatery where enjoyment seems the only thing on people’s minds. And no wonder… His deceptively simple bistro fare is virtuously good (you can taste every fresh flavour), perfectly portioned and cleanly plated. Try the soufflé or chilli-salted squid, or a salad, which will have you pining for seconds. Reuben’s seafood risotto is easily the best you’ll find in the valley. If you can hold back from scoffing the last of the parmesan and truffle-infused mash, you might just manage an equally moreish dessert.

Wine
A broad, thoughtful and fairly priced selection covers all regions, with good by-the-glass options.

Service
Polished, friendly and on the ball, servers are happy (and able) to advise on all manner of menu cross-questioning.

Ambience
The interior is modern with high ceilings affording a spaciousness and relaxed sophistication. Balmy days are wonderful for alfresco dining in the tree-shaded courtyard.

And...
The restaurant has recently expanded, with more space for more happy diners. (LR)
