Natural wine picks from a former sommelier

David used to pour wine at La Yole, Christopher Coutanceau's place on plage de la Concurrence. Now he runs the floor here, picking every bottle himself for a list that leans hard into natural and biodynamic, sparkling to orange.

The homemade tapas shift with the season and whatever local suppliers bring that week, tied closely to Aperta, the restaurant next door run by the same team. Grab a table across from the covered market and let David steer you.

Great place! Very warm and friendly welcome. They offer personalized and delicious tapas—not your average place. We were recommended by the restaurant next door, which just goes to show... Excellent value for money.

Came to this restaurant on a whim one evening and enjoyed very well made, fusion food tapas. The fried chicken and the tuna were excellent and the service was great too :)
