Indian-French influenced sustainable local seafood
Serving both sit down and take away customers, we’re proud to offer a variety of sustainable, locally-sourced and farm-fresh ingredients. Our interesting menu includes a wide selection of mainstay dishes, open faced tartine sandwiches, salads, house-pickled organic veggies, a current curry and a duet of soups - a chowder and a seasonal feature (gazpacho/bisque).
Maintaining sustainable, local and organic standards, we also offer dairy-free, wheat-free and mayo-free alternatives, giving our customers numerous healthy fresh food options for lunch and dinner.
