The restaurant’s tiny yet perfectly formed interior is a lesson in sleek Scandi minimalism. While the aesthetic is achingly cool, the welcome is refreshingly warm and the series of sharing plates from the menu is beautifully styled. This is flawless, contemporary cooking with none of the fussiness you might expect. You won’t find a foam here, or dishes presented in a cloud of smoke, just honest, good food, carefully prepared and artfully served. A word in advance. Eleanore has become famed for its choux pastry dessert. The signature Tirami-choux is the bomb but if it’s not on the menu on the day of your visit, do not leave without trying the seasonal substitiute. You’ll thank us later.
