AQ Kitchen

Top choice in Presnya


AQ stands for Adrian Quetglas, the Argentinian chef who is the brains behind this creative endeavour. With huge windows and stressed-wood details, the shabby-chic interior is a perfect setting for the eclectic menu. Look for Moroccan chicken with couscous, grilled squid with romesco sauce and other unexpected delicacies.
