Great food in a trendy restaurant. It’s difficult to characterize the style of their food by they say they’re globally inspired. You can’t go wrong with this place. Price point is moderate (similar to Barsa Taberna above). You’ll want to either take an Uber (15 minutes) or public transit (35 minutes) as the walking time there is ~1 hour.
