The food here is some kind of magic: salmon carpaccio, bistecca alla fiorentina, ravioli nero with salmon and a nice rack of New Zealand lamb – certainly not what most would expect from a round-the-clock establishment in Europe's east. Great ambience and good wine list too, plus prime people-watching on the sidewalk terrace.
