The pleasure of
a table well shared.

Sideplate moves with the day. Coffee and a quiet breakfast, a considered lunch, dinner as the light begins to soften.

Our kitchen follows the season, our welcome stays the same. Good ingredients, careful cooking and time to enjoy both.

From morning to evening.

From our side of the counter

A personal welcome.
Every time.

We're Nina and Theo. We opened Sideplate for the kind of moments we love most: a spontaneous breakfast, a familiar order, a table full of friends.

Nina keeps the coffee flowing. Theo keeps something good on the stove. And yes, we'll always ask how your day is going.

See you at the table,
Nina & Theo
