    We had a really wonderful meal here which was opposite the Marriott Hotel where we were staying. We had heard it was excellent so decided to try it on our last night. We wished we had eaten there before our last night so we could have gone more then once! Fabulous aesthetics, like a museum, so interesting, just like the owner who took the time to chat to us about the restaurant & all the magical artefacts within it. Great, attentive, friendly staff, delicious food, all round great evening out! 🤩

    Best French Cuisine I've had outside of France We went here as part of a TUI tour (we were a group of 10) to Monastir and Sousse, and didn't know anything about the restaurant so didn't know what to expect. The Waiter was friendly and welcoming, the starter was Fish Soup and was excellently flavoured. I had the fish as the main course and it was simply THE BEST FISH I'VE EVER TASTED. Cooked perfectly and with a potato and cream and butter cooked veg. The other people on my table has the meat (beef) option which they said was excellent. I was not surprised to read on TripAdvisor that it's the #1 restaurant in Sousse, it truly deserves the accolade. Thank You for a wonderful meal

    Can’t figure out why this restaurant has a good reputation on google map. The only good thing at this restaurant is the decoration. You can come here for drinks but definitely not for food. We had 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 fish, 1 water and 1 coke, which cost us 107dinar(which is pretty expensive in Tunisia). The appetizer was lovely but the main courses were just sad and disappointed. The sauce of the seafood cream pasta was bad and the fish of the day was not fresh. Any street food or local restaurant will be 100 times better and more tasty.

    Lovely little restaurant. We visited as part of a TUI arranged tour and sat outside, so cannot speak for the interior. The outside space was separated from the pavement by lots of greenery, making the outside seating space very pleasant. We were on a set menu but all our food was well presented and tasty. Worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) Romantic setting. French specialties such as: snails, foie gras, bouillabaisse ... Very good service. The staff is welcoming and very concerned about our well being. On the other hand the portions of vegetables accompanying the dishes are a little chick. (Original) Cadre romantique. Spécialités françaises telles que : escargots, foie gras, bouillabaisse... Très bon service. Le pesonnel est accueillant et très soucieux de notre bien être. Par contre les portions de légumes accompagnant les plats sont un peu chiches.

    Me and my wife have just had the most fantastic meal here in l’escargot. I had prawn cocktail and my wife had French onion soup for starters then went on to have rump steak and chicken with mushroom sauce and shared a lemon sorbet, the restaurant was lovely and the staff were fantastic. If you are near the restaurant I would recommend going!!!

    (Translated by Google) Nice place, one of the waiters speaks Russian well. Bring free snacks. Delicious, hearty and clear dishes. The only thing - no coffee, no juice, tea bags. They bring a very small cup, you have to ask for one more and dilute it - too hard. Reported that there is a sprite, brought on a local soda like. (Original) Приятное место, один из официантов хорошо владеет русским. Приносят бесплатные закуски. Вкусные, сытные и понятные блюда. Единственное - нет кофе, отсутствует сок, чай в пакетиках. Приносят очень маленькую чашку, приходится просить ещё одну и разбавлять - слишком крепко. Сообщили, что есть спрайт, по принесли местную газировку наподобие.

    Amazing restaurant! The guys here are super friendly, we asked for a menu but it was only for noon, however they agreed to serve one for us :) The decorations are amazing ! The theme is snails, and you have small snails everywhere hidden in the decoration, and even living small cute snails in the outside area. As i am algerian, i wanted to try their traditional dishes. They were awesomely delightful !!! As an appetizer they serve you small plates with harissa, olives, and the best butter i ever ate in my life. We tried also more continental dishes, they were just perfect. And once again we found that delicous butter in an open potato, this time with a different taste. I highly recommend this restaurant who truly deserves to be called restaurant! Also, one great thing to note, their menu OS AVAILABLE IN 4-5 LANGUAGES !! For this standing and quality, it is relatively cheap ;)

    This was one of the highlights of the holiday. I managed to book a table for lunch. The restaurant itself is cosy, clean, and interesting to look around with lots of paintings and ornaments. We were given bread, herb butter, harissa and olives at the table whilst we chose and waited for our food. We had snails for the starters (one in mushroom and garlic sauce, and one in puff pastry). Both were very tasty and cooked well. For mains we had the steak with foie gras. This was delicious and probably some of the nicest steak I've had. It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was lovely, and the accompanying vegetables meant it was a good sized meal that left us too full for dessert! The prices were good for such quality food - definitely value for money! The staff were also lovely - they were efficient, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit!

    After the disappointment of dining in a few restaurants in Sousse, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this restaurant. Everything we had at this restaurant was appetizing starting from the butter that we were served with some bread. We ordered the chateaubriand which was absolutely delicious (highly recommended) and my husband had escargot and was quite satisfied. I definitely would go back to this restaurant.

    The salad starter was on the big side, and rather plain, while the beef main course a bit on the small side. The main course itself was good. Food was included in our day trip, drinks weren't. Not sure about the prices in this area on average, but compared to Yasmine Hammamet they're on the expensive side. The place looks nice, well decorated. Place is mainly French, though they speak English well here.

    Despite the long wait for the main dishes (Catch of the day), the appetizers and drinks were brought rather quickly. Our server that evening was very helpful and could communicate just as easily in both French and English. The fruit plate at the end was a great way to end our meal. P.S.: While Julio Iglesias singing in French got a little tiring towards the end of our meal at the restaurant, now every time my family and I listen to those songs it brings us back. Great memories.

    We had a lovely evening meal which came to around 200 TD, well worth the money! The white wine recommended by the waiter was beautiful as was the restaurant itself. We had two starters as well as our two main meals to which I would highly recommended the filet steak and the beef with smoked salmon. Waiters were also amazing and very attentive. Do not miss this, especially if you’re visiting!
