Chef Kyle’s trademark flatbread has been re- imagined in a
new way. The fried chicken flat bread
will make your taste buds explode. The
menu includes a variety of dishes for meat lovers and vegetarians. Must have starters include the fresh
homemade CARAMELIZED BAGUETTE (emulsified marrow, cola salt) and the MEATBALLS (soubise, baby herbs, bread crumbs); which will
satisfy any pallet.
