bar Oruga

One visitor recalls a seasonal cocktail of pumpkin, nuts and rum for its potage-like texture and the depth of the rum. Seasonal fruit cocktails are chosen from the blackboard, making it worth checking what the season has brought to the menu.

For something to eat, try pizza topped with Gorgonzola and honey, or anchovy and tomato pizza. The cheese platter includes Mimolette, Brie and Gorgonzola, and suits an evening of sampling drinks and small bites. Olives and raisin butter make easy snacks; for something more substantial, there are an egg sandwich and dry curry. The menu offers options for different kinds of evenings.

Alongside seasonal cocktails, the drinks include a gin and tonic with cardamom and lime, and a combination of dark rum, espresso, coffee liqueur and tonic. Cocktail ingredients are listed on the menu, making it easier to choose a drink to suit your mood.
