An Exceptional Menu
Have your dinner upstairs in Piq Niq, and then later in the evening head down to Beat Niq to listen to the sounds of true jazz in their subterranean lounge. Café lunches include entrées like the chicken and white bean soup with wilted escarole, duck confit with boar bacon cassoulet, and the chef’s daily inspired quiche. Things get a little fancier in the evening. Dinners include truffled butternut squash and goat cheese ravioli with fresh tomato coulis. There is also a catch of the day.
