my go-to shop for kitchen utensils. from thermometers to silicon mats; from pyrex bowls to exomat cutters.

there you will find everything you need to make your home kitchen as convenient as a professional one. I regularly stock on disposable piping bags.

they also carry a selection of all-white plates, which I find nice for food photography.

the prices are exclusive of VAT, so make sure you get your mind ready for some heavy bills.

a lovely restaurant, not too packed during week days. we even managed to find a lunch table for two on a friday.
the food is cooked simply, yet in a refreshing – and altogether delicious – way.

I simply adore the glasses and plates; which you can find at the shop next door, also accessible from the restaurant space.

they also sell take-aways (the counter looked gorgeous) and packaged things like soups (and certainly a lot more, although, I must admit, I didn’t have a proper look).

for lunch we shared:
• a spicy vegetable pad thai – a cold salad of cabbages and carrots with chilli, mint and cashew nuts
• a pizza du jour – with mozzarella, grilled courgettes, marinated artichokes and olives

just one thought: where can organic courgettes come from when it’s snowing outside?
