With its cosy dim-lit interior, stacked firewood decorations, and a captivating view of the Padang, the restaurant exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open kitchen added an element of excitement, allowing us to catch a glimpse of the skilled chefs at work.
Led by the visionary Chef Jeremy Gillon and his team, this remarkable establishment left us awe-inspired by its dedication to vegetable-centric cuisine.
