    Great ambiance, we love that it is not loud and that we can chat without having to shout at each other across the table. The food is always so inventive. The portions are very large though, pace yourself! They make the best martini.

    A wonderful spot to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable about both the food and especially the wine.

    The best part of the dinner was that Stofa team surprised us with the card and chocolates for our anniversary. We love Stofa!

    Excellent service, creative wine list, delightful ambiance and quiet enough that we could have a pleasant conversation. Beautiful flavour combinations (we really liked the ling cod!).

    Very nice birthday dinner for my wife. Quiet enough music to talk, which seems so rare at restaurants nowadays. Beautifully prepared and delicious dishes. Attentive service that was not rushed. We will be back.

    We visited Stofa for my husband’s birthday, and we had been wanting to try it for a while, so glad we finally did! The flavors were incredible, and we chose the three-course meal, which did not disappoint. The highlight for me was the soufflé, absolutely delicious. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance made the evening feel extra special. While it is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and experience made it a memorable night out.

    If you are looking for a high end dining experience that goes beyond just great food, I recommend. Each dish was crafted with precision, presented beautifully, and has a variety of textures and flavours. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. Stofa delivers on all levels.

    We have been looking for a new favourite place for birthdays etc since our last one (Carben) closed and heard Stofa had a similar vibe. It did not disappoint! We did the five course option and loved the ability to choose our own adventure a bit with still some surprise from the chef’s course. We will definitely be back for the next occasion!
