Super petit endroit pour les gens qui ont des intolérances ou des allergies au gluten. Tout est savoureux & à un prix acceptable. Le personnel est courtois mais ne tolère aucun aliment contenant du gluten (mettons que vous venez avec votre bébé pis qu'il mange déjà quelque chose).

Just went to this beautiful restaurant with friends & had the best experience. Our server was amazing, really attentive, as we're all our questions & remember all our orders without writing one thing down. The owner of the place was also there tonight & came to check in with us to see how the meal was. Beyond the service the food was some of the best I've ever tried the cassava chips are a must try & the sandwiches were so flavourful. We will absolutely be coming here again & can't wait to eat more of the delicious food. This is a must try ! The food was so good we even forgot to take a photo.
