Children are not left behind, as a play area is available for them to play in while parents observe.
“I want it to become a casual local watering hole in the heart of Bedfordview,” said Yandas.

Yandas added, “I make ‘Basil’s signature sushi’, which has been exceptionally well-received.”
Taratza has a delightful range of burgers and pastas; they make a great beef stir-fry and a stunning prawn curry.
“Whatever you fancy, if it be a light snack or something more substantial, then join us. Come for sundowners and enjoy a cocktail. Come for date night, come with family and friends on the weekend.
“Make a booking to enjoy your special occasions here,” Yandas said.
