    Absolutely loved this place. The steak was cooked perfectly and the tiger prawns were succulent. The house Chardonnay was really good. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

    Definitely the best restaurant in Djibouti! I recommend the chicken Caesar salad to start and the steak in the mushroom gravy sauce is delicious! Cocktails are great and they have a great wine selection. It’s a bit pricy but absolutely worth it!!

    The owner tried to move the tables in line with each other when I was there, being so careful about the details was a good sign about the food quality. The steak with roque fort cheese sauce was simply amazing, love every detail of it. The only awkward moment I had, I asked the waiter if I could use credit card here, I know it’s not a norm in Djibouti but some high end restaurants (and Bawadi Mall) accept Visa card. The waiter said yes, so I happily ordered food because I didn’t have much DFr left. When I paid the bill, the waiter told me that I could “use” the credit card here by going outside and get money from the ATM. Luckily I still had a 100 US dollar bill, so I didn’t have to end up washing dishes there. But it would be nice if I could be informed more clearly.

    Great food and service and a lovely ambiance. I particularly love their seafood. But it is a rather expensive restaurant

    Delicious French food. It was a different take on cerviche. Duck was well prepared the sauce was excellent. Beef cooked to perfect temperature. Creme brulee was overdone, but five stars for the whole experience being the best around Djibouti City.

    Great people and a place with great history. The restaurant may be the reason you ended up there (a very good reason indeed), but take time to have a close look at the walls and the architecture, their untold more than 100 years stories

    The BEST French cuisine in Djibouti. Great atmosphere, delicious food with a great menu, and excellent service. You’ll definitely pay a premium here but it’s worth it. We had a party of eight so I was able to try a lot of different food, and it was ALL good! I ordered a calamari app and a medium rare steak paired with a bottle of red. I ended up trying several different apps… escargot, large and small mussels, and ceviche. Again, everything was delicious. Next time I go back I’ll order the prong. Several party members ordered it and said it was awesome. To cap off the evening the owner (she’s French) offered a cognac night cap on the house. Always a great experience when we eat here.

    Definitely the best restaurant in the city. I wouldn’t add another star because the portions could be a bit more generous. Overall… very good!

    Very nice duck and good wines. Prices are somewhat higher then other places but the quality is very good.

    Delicious Parisian cuisine. A bit pricey but the food is well made, friendly staff as well and gracious owners. Parking can be a bit challenging.

    Best grilled salmon I've had in my life. Service from the staff was ok, side dishes were average, but whoever made the salmon was a true professional.
