Allium

Top choice


Allium subscribes to the slow-food movement, with a seasonal menu that relies on fresh organic produce, cheeses and meats. Go for cocktails and small plates in the lounge area, with a window facing the street, or a more formal meal in the dining room, with a view into the kitchen.

This stylish restaurant combines rustic and modern design elements to great effect.
