Across the reviews, Bar Pamplemousse is described as a place with exceptional food and cocktails, a warm and versatile ambiance, and consistently friendly staff that make it a good pick for family, friends, or a lively night out. The menu gets high marks for variety and flavor, with standout dishes such as hummus and lamb, octopus, falafel, oysters, burgers, and shareable plates, along with inventive cocktails and solid wine and beer options. The atmosphere can be chill or bustling, with a pleasant terrace and a focus on a strong bar scene, and many visitors leave impressed by the quality of both food and drinks.

We saw a mouse running across the room twice during the few hours we were there. It was a bit disgusting. I felt a chill running through my body. We were more than one person who saw it & it was more than once. I wonder how many mice are there, & how clean their kitchen is....do I really want to put their food in my mouth >.
Overpriced, & the service was a bit dishonest: the bartendar did not tell me the price before opening the bottle. By the time he opened, it was too late. It was a pricy lesson.
