Our wine list focus is on smaller wineries, where winemakers are artist themselves.

The food, carefully selected wines from small producers, increasingly trendy non-alcoholic drinks, attentive service and atmosphere are always maintained by the restaurant staff at such a level that the guest enjoys every moment they spend in the only house with a mantel chimney in the region. This three-hundred-year-old building combines the former life of the nearby Kadiroru Castle, the modern atmosphere of the city center and world-class culinary art. In the rooms designed with bright colors and why not even inside the mantel chimney, couples and families as well as larger groups will find a pleasant place to sit, who will feel very comfortable in the restaurant.
