Run by two brothers from Morocco, it specialises in Mediterranean cuisine, including mainly Italian and some Moroccan dishes.

Try the champagne chicken - soft poached chicken topped with crab in a creamy sauce that has Moet and Chandon champagne in it - or the huge lamb served in a traditional tagine.

There are plenty of traditional Italian dishes to choose from as well as specials that change regularly.
