👍👍 The paella was fantastic. Gave up counting the baby clams after about two dozen, but definitely ate them all plus the chicken, sausage and calamari. The Basque red wine was a nice, dry counterpart to the rich Paella, and I definitely needed the Izarra vert digestif afterwards. The owner came over -...

    The paella was fantastic. Gave up counting the baby clams after about two dozen, but definitely ate them all plus the chicken, sausage and calamari. The Basque red wine was a nice, dry counterpart to the rich Paella, and I definitely needed the Izarra vert digestif afterwards. The owner came over - several times - and offered to buy me a 2nd digestif. When I demurred, he comp'd me on the first one. Truly extraordinary service and food.

    Awesome little local family restaurant. Honestly can’t say enough about the food or the service. Fantastique! The chocolate puddings were off the scale. Forget central Reims and make the effort. It will be worth it !!!😍😍😍😍

    One of the better restaurant experiences we had while in Reims. This restaurant is located a short walk west of the city centre but is very much worth a visit. Plenty of menu items to choose from and very reasonably priced. Super friendly waitress and owner who gave us a coulple of extra things to try between meals and a shot of something (not sure what it was!) at the end of our meal. We had a three course menu and there was nothing we could fault. Make sure you call and make a reservation as we went on midday on Monday and it was full to the point they had to turn people without a reservation away.

    I am from Spain and the “paella” is as far from paella as it gets. Not only the ingredients are all wrong, which we knew by looking at the menu but figured it could still taste good, it just has nothing to do with paella. They used long rice, it was all loose and bland. Even if you just forget all about paella and just think it is a rice dish, still not even acceptable. To be fair, I cannot give an opinion on the other dishes (must be amazing to justify the 4.7 they have) and all the waiters were really nice.

    We visited place as we saw it was highly rated. Food is tasty and portions are enormous. Waitress was extremely sweet and we even got an extra on the house. Chef came to say good day to us and the table next to it. Wonderful relaxing music for background. Has a very cool feel about it even if somewhat low key. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

    Incredible! Everything about this was a five out of five. Unique food, great decor, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The dinner and dessert combo is reasonably priced with so many great options. Make sure to try the basque duo!

    We had a great dining experience at this cozy restaurant. We ordered the cold seafood Appetizer Special, that included, baby razor clams, A variety of sea snails, tiny shrimp, larger shrimp... delicious escargot. My paella had duck, lots of small seafood not in its shell, chicken, sausage etc. Great combination of flavors. My husband had the duck confit, cooked perfectly. The owner and staff extremely warm and pleasant! A must if visiting Reims! Make a reservation!!
