EI-KA

Shoestring fries, crisp and served with ketchup and mustard, make an easy late-night snack. One diner wrote that, despite intending to keep the food light and concentrate on drinks, they found themselves reaching for the fries. On the same visit, they also ordered carrot râpée and broccoli with black olive mayonnaise. Whether you fancy fries to nibble on or a few vegetable appetisers to share, there are options for a light evening meal.

One diner's mixed appetiser platter included tender chicken breast with mustard mayonnaise, pickled daikon, broccoli with anchovy mayonnaise, chicken liver pâté and ratatouille. They enjoyed the pâté with baguette and a lemon sour, with the pickles as a palate cleanser. It is a useful example of how to sample several small dishes in one sitting.

For something more substantial, choose spaghetti with tomato, oil-based or cream sauce. The menu also notes that short pasta is available, and diners have praised the pasta as a satisfying way to round off a night of drinks, with sauce that clings well to the noodles. Other menu items include a bacon and cheese panini and chicken thigh and mushroom ajillo. The ajillo comes without bread, so you can add a baguette if you would like something to accompany it.

Drinks include beer and cocktails, as well as a wide selection of wines. There is a choice to suit a meal built around appetisers or a glass to go with pasta after a few drinks. EI-KA is a bar where you can also eat, and it is described as suitable for solo diners. Open daily from 18:00 until 2:00 the following day, it is an option for a light late-night bite or a plate of pasta to finish the evening.
