When it comes to a nice and cosy bar, i think of Hihou
You walk into a nice and cosy setting where you can seat down and enjoy a drink and have a chat. Love how they have such a good range on the menu and most drinks are japanese inspired.
We had the shoya and really enjoyed it. Love the ambience and the service here
Great place as a Japanese bar. Tried the set dinner. A bit pricey. The bar is well hidden - as the name suggests. Liked their sake based cocktail.

Review:
I love degustation menus because they make me go out of my comfort zone. It makes me try new things and new combos I never would've chosen for myself... and it's all decided for me 😆.
Our favourite was the last dish - the pork belly skewers. It had this layer of fat in just the right places that gave it an amazing burst of flavor. I really really enjoyed every single bite.
All the other dishes were memorable and unique too. Who ever thought about combining corn and scallop?!
The service was really accommodating. My friend and I were rushing prior to another appointment so we asked to have everything come out asap. Even on our tiny table they made sure to keep the food coming one after the other. Amazing!!
Side note: make sure you make a booking on the Hihou website!
