Bistropolitain (Changement de propriétaire)

Restaurant

👍👍 Very welcoming staffs. 14.9e lunch menu with main dish with soup/salad/dessert. They gave so big portion that we were too full after the lunch. The soup and chicken were good. The fish that day was a bit bland but thanks to a nice space to sit and the smiling services, we still give it 5 stars
