"L'équipe est très agréable et chaleureuse, nous avons laissé le serveur choisir nos verres de vins, qui se sont accordés parfaitement à nos plats. Je recommande l'œuf poché, sur lit de lardon champignon au vin rouge, une explosion de saveurs dans la bouche, en plus des souvenirs gustatif d'enfance. La dorade et son risotto son également exécuté avec savoir faire, accompagner d'une sauce douce et pleine de saveurs qui sublime le tout. Ravie d'avoir découvert ce lieux."

"Incredible food and atmosphere! The waiters are friendly and each course was so nicely put together and the quality was fantastic. The price was also not very expensive for the level of cuisine we had - we each paid €28 for an entrée, plat, dessert, and a shared bottle of wine."

"So good we wanted to come back the next day but unfortunately it's not open on Sunday! Such good food. There was an interesting and varied selection and we both took choices off the specials board - one was lamb, one was salmon and both were delicious. The dessert was fantastic too. Highly recommend."

"Au top ! Déjà l'équipe est très sympa. Alors que nous étions en retard pour notre réservation, ils nous on attendu jusqu'à presque 14h. Du coup c était calme, un vrai bonheur pour se poser. La cuisine est excellente et la présentation est belle : je me suis régalée avec une poêlée de gambas à l orange et son risotto aux petits légumes. Un délice ! La personne qui m accompagnait a choisi le carpaccio de bœuf avec frites maison qu elle a adoré. Les desserts sont également à la hauteur, ce qui devient de plus en plus rare pour les gourmands dont je fais partie. Une belle adresse !"
