All the food is made freshly on site daily.

The proposal is the latest boost for the city centre with Franco Manca pizza restaurant taking shape across Cathedral Square; Bijou, a cocktails and tapas bar due to open next month in Bridge Street; work on a Turkish restaurant and meze bar Gold Shish underway in Broadway; and Japanese restaurant Katana announcing its intentions to open in the city centre this week.
