Ombrelle
Two menus
One kitchen, two services. From noon the brasserie sends out shellfish on ice, pasta from the pass and the fish that came in at dawn. From five the bar takes the terrace: spritz, vermouth and small plates until the last glass.

Lunch thatruns intothe evening
Ombrelle began as six tables and two parasols on Linden Square. The parasols are bigger now and the kitchen is open to the room, but the habit stayed: people come for lunch, order another coffee and are still here when the lamps go on.

Noon to midnight
The house changes five times a day. The card, the light and the music follow the clock; the tables stay where they are.

Lunch
The full brasserie card. Shellfish on ice, a pasta from the pass, the fish of the day with whatever the market sent.

15:00–17:00
Coffee hour
Espresso, a slice of lemon tart, the terrace in half shade. The kitchen rests; the coffee keeps going.

Said at the table
“We came for oysters at one and left after the second negroni. Nobody hurried us once.”
Marta — a regular since the first summer “The bream was perfect, the coffee better, and the shade moves exactly where you need it.”
Jonas — Sunday lunch for four “The kind of place where the waiter remembers you like the table by the plane tree.”
Clara — lives two streets away
