🦀🐟 Important Update 🐡🦑

Dear friends,

I wanted to let you all know that the bistro will be closing temporarily from 7th October 2025. I’ll be undergoing major surgery and, while I’m focusing on recovery, I won’t be able to return to the kitchen until around mid-February.

This is, of course, a pause and not a goodbye. We’ll keep you updated here as things progress, and I so appreciate your support, patience, and good wishes during this time. 💛

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our little bistro family — I can’t wait to be back cooking for you all again as soon as I’m able.

With love and gratitude,

Ruth 🥰
