    I had the pleasure of dining at BEHIND today for lunch, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The 6-course meal was a delight from start to finish. Each dish was not only bursting with flavour but also beautifully presented, showcasing the skill and creativity of the kitchen. What impressed me the most was the exceptional value for money, especially considering this is a Michelin-starred restaurant. Every course felt like a real treat, and I left feeling both satisfied and eager to return for more. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try the 10-course meal!

    Hidden Gem tucked away in a little back road. Chefs and waitress Audrey very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the 6 course tasting menu - a culinary sensation!! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

    A huge thank you to the whole team! My husband and I were here to celebrate his birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The full tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairing was perfect - there wasn’t a single course or pairing we didn’t enjoy! With the menu being built around local and seasonal produce we plan on not being strangers over the coming months as the menu changes! A huge thank you to the whole team for being so friendly and spending time with us throughout the evening - we’ve been to many tasting menus and a few chef’s counters and we really liked that we got to speak with many of the team!
