Reviews
Very disappointed. It is supposed to be a gastronomic restaurant, the entrée was alright. However the chicken was unpleasant, and the vegetables simple. desserts was OK. Portions were rather small. The setting was good. All in all would not recommend it.
Very good experience at this restaurant, 5 stars service, clean and friendly staff. We were sat at a little room by ourselves ( a party of 7 ). The food was exquisite with the Octopus as meal of the day wich I found really delicious, I liked the spices used and the tenderness of the meat itself. The dessert was 'fondant au chocolat', it was good, not too sweet but i expected the chocolate to be a bit more 'runny' on the inside. The prices i think are a bit high (39€ per person for a meal and dessert) Good experience overall.
