Why to visit Cafe Paci
If Cafe Paci were a piece of clothing, it would be a navy suit or a little black dress – appropriate for any occasion. This high-energy European bistro slash wine bar never fails to deliver, whether it's for an aperitif and snack at the bar, a romantic night out, or a long-overdue catch up with friends. The à la carte menu, which ranges from small starters to large-format dishes, is inspired by chef and owner Pasi Petänen's Finnish roots, but also travels to Italy and France.
Whatever the reason, this is the type of meal that people are craving right now. A tender whole chicken is glazed in black garlic and dressed in chicken fat vinaigrette, while plump prawn and tarragon ravioli is boosted with fermented chilli butter; potato dumplings are tossed in a rich and slightly funky smoked-trout XO; and a tender whole chicken is glazed in black garlic and dressed in chicken fat vinaigrette. Trust your server when it comes to wine; everything on Giorgio De Maria's list is lighthearted and food-friendly.
