  • 5/5 Crickhowell P. 6 years ago on Google
    The most stunning, and beautiful food that I've eaten in France. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly, humorous service. We'd love to try more of the delightfully crafted menu of local foods prepared to international flavours. Eat your heart out trip advisor.

    Opened five weeks ago, rated five stars by everyone and with good reason. Delicious fusion food inspired by many different cuisines picked up by the owner during his round the world travels. Simply outstanding and the best restaurant in La Rochelle. And extremely friendly service to boot. We've going to go back. As often as we can.

    The best experiences are often a surprise. We knew nothing of this restaurant other than walking past we were drawn to the name and decor. In the end it was a wonderful surprise. We chose the degustation menu and we enjoyed every mouthful. The staff were incredibly professional and put up with our lack of French. We are happy to recommend the restaurant at all.

    We came over from England for our wedding anniversary and somebody recommended this place to us. It was fabulous! The perfect mix of good lighting, delicious food and friendly attentive waiting staff. We went for the 5 course tasting menu and every dish was well worth it. One we'll be returning to. Merci!

  • 5/5 Michele E. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the most creative and delicious culinary experience we had during our 2 week of travel in the area. We stumbled across it, but what a treat! From beginning to end, each course was beautifully presented - the curation of world flavours was a delight. Loved the wine list as well - the Vina Ardanza reserva was the perfect accompaniment for our dinner. We wondered when it will receive a star?

  • 5/5 Assaf M. 3 years ago on Google
    Positives: Service team are excellent and very friendly, the food is made from fresh and good quality ingrediant. Plat distrubution is very well balanced. And the taste is excellent. Clean, and adapted against covid19 Negatives: a bit expensive for the quantity, some choice are only available at night

  • 5/5 Benoit C. 3 years ago on Google
    This restaurant serve meals from all around the globe, but still has a certain french touch to it. Everything was delicious and surprising. It's a bit away from the most touristic places in a quiet street, but it definitely is worth the walk!

  • 5/5 Galina T. 8 months ago on Google
    We absolutely loved the menu of 5 dishes with accompanying wines. It’s new, fresh, authentic and I’m sure soon will get their first Michelin star. Maybe having just one person and one sommelier serving each table is the only thing missing to get to that star, but the service was overall great and very friendly. Would love to come back 😋

  • 1/5 Beaky T. 9 months ago on Google
    Thank you for asking me to review your restaurant. We had a very nice meal. Then you completely spoiled it by charging us for a bottle of wine that was nearly €20 more than the one we had. A nice bottle of Cotes de Rhône miraculously turned into Cote de Nuits. This is a tactic that tacky tourist restaurants use to fleece people and I’ve experienced it loads of times while on holiday. We pointed your ‘error’ out to our waiter who made a pathetic apology before returning with our overpayment. Deeply depressing experience which completely spoiled the evening

  • 5/5 Queenie C. 5 months ago on Google
    We’ve tired French traditional dishes here and it was amazing👍🏻

  • 5/5 Baris C. 3 months ago on Google New
