The place has been open for only 3 months but already has earned the name for it's stakes and Thai woks. A lot of importance has been paid to the details - custom-made soft furniture with pleasant fabrics brought from Italy; all the dishes and the cups have been brought from Portugal selected from an elegant "Nostalgia" collection which cannot be found anywhere else in town.
