From Saffron Restaurant & Lounge

Since 2007, we have been featuring seasonal menus that highlight the cuisine of the beautiful Mediterranean. The delicacy of our cuisine is in the details of the craft; curing meats, making yogurt & cheese, grinding aromatic spices and making ice creams and sorbets daily is what we take pride in.

The bar follows the same ideals as the cuisine from hand-crafted cocktails to a perfectly adapted wine list with selections from around the world.

We hope to see you soon.
