    We loved the decor. Sat outside we ordered beer and looked at the menu for food. However none of their food options were appetizing to us so we decided to just have our beers. The waitress after finding out we were not ordering food asked us to get up and go to the inside of the restaurant in the back because she “SAID” the front seating is only for people that do order food . Lol so we were moved .. I thinks it kind of rude since we were consuming alcohol. Anyways spent 10 days in France so far and no one has ever done that to us .. just this place so beware !

    The meal was alright and the interior design is very beautiful with a very kind and welcoming waitors but the outside sits are very narrow to pass through and every time someone passes by you always have to watch out not to be knocked on the back or head. Apart from that a nice place to visit. PS: Very clean and beautiful bathroom 🚻

    Small but nice place. Beer was not good at all and didn't worth the money they charged. Music was fine

    The burger is basic, the chefs casollette is more or less meat with ketchup and don't get me started on the Caesar salad. Service in English is quite unfriendly and understaffed. We were fouled by the good recommendations. Beware.

    Started with the warm goat cheese salad. Fabulous! The cheese was melted on sliced baguette. Great mix of veggies and finished with balsamic reduction. Octopus. Perfect preparation. Grilled and yet tender. The sauce was lightly seasoned and did not distract from the delicate octopus flavor. Pork rib. Glazed in house made bbq sauce, light and not over powering. So tender. Grilled on the outside; soft and tender on the inside. Melts in your mouth. Both plates included a mix of vegetables cooked just right and seasoned nicely. Mashed potatoes, not fries. Perfect meal for our last night in France!

  • 5/5 Sophie de K. 3 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Such a cool place with an awesome atmosphere. Very cosy. The crème brûlée was phenomenal and the salmon tartare was also pretty amazing. I normally wouldn’t comment on roast potatoes but the little potatoes that came with some dishes were also surprisingly good. Our waiter also spoke French to us so we could practise which was great.

    Very pleasant place! Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, friendly, fast and always at your service employees. We are surprised that they don't charge for bread or water, which is a rarity nowadays. All recommendations.

    Friendly service and nice atmosphere - Had gambas pasta - felt a little pre-prepared rather than totally fresh, but still decent...

    Rather a disappointing experience: looks more promising than it is. It is more about appearances than actual food experience

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
