Stopped in for a veggie meal&mdash;poppadoms, a couple of mains, some speciality rice. Came to about &euro;62, which felt fair for what we got. Service knew the menu well, didn&rsquo;t hover. I had a mango lassi with mine, worked a treat with the spices. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re after something proper.

The tuna tostadas are the reason I&rsquo;d go back. Crispy base, fresh fish, decent kick of lime. Had them on a weekday, price was fair for what you got. Music was a bit loud but honestly didn&rsquo;t care. Just order those and you&rsquo;re sorted.

The alfajores are unreal&mdash;crumbly, rich, and not too sweet. That dulce de leche filling is spot on. Lovely little bakery, proper neighbourhood vibe.

Stopped in after work and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place has a proper Parisian bistro feel now, sharp but not stuffy. Had the chicken wings to go&mdash;good call, sticky and spicy with that Southern Asian kick. Bartender poured a solid G&amp;T to start, worked well with the heat. Service was on point, never hovering. Might skip the dessert next time, but the wings alone are worth the trip.

The fish was cooked spot on, and the lamb was decent too. River view from the table is a nice bonus, though I mainly came for the food.
