Robin Unicorn – the unicorn is a project that I only made twice. I found the way the underside of the body to be very challenging, but I learned so much.I was extremely excited to try this restaurant based on many recommendations but left very disappointed. The room is very nice but the food was just okay. The cod croquettes are amazing but the goat stew was average. The biggest disappointment were the extra charges... that we did not know about. First we asked for tap water but was given bottled which we didn't know as we had some restaurants that had given us tap in bottles on our table before. We raised this to the waitress at the end and she just shrugged her shoulders. Second they served us bread with butter & meat jus on our table without any comments or anything. We didn't know they were going to charge us 3 euros pp even though we ate a few bites and left most. Third, the bill had a suggested 5% tip that was included in the total. Thus it was not a suggestion and was just added on. They don't bring it up to your attention and will just input it into the machine for you to pay.

I have been a huge fan of Yan Schenkel, the designer behind all things Animal Friends of Pica Pau, since I saw her adorable Victor Frog on the cover of her 2017 book.
