Nice place & great service, but the food was below average in my humble opinion. The wine was terrible too. Sorry.

Restaurant incr, meilleur limonade que j'ai jamais bu. Pas trop amer, mais on a le goût du citron, pétillant mais pas trop & sucré mais pas énormément. La perfection.
Petits plats simples & délicieux !

Classic French bistro where you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, just everything executed well & true to what it should be. The escargots, the hanger steak, the duck breast & the rice pudding are all really good. You eat well from start to finish, entrée, main, dessert.

Le menu est court & stable, mais tout est excellent. (Gros coups de coeur pour les ravioles & la truite à l'oseille.) C'est relativement simple mais bien fait! Le service est particulièrement professionnel & sympathique! J'y allais pour la 3e fois & j'y retournerai encore. ❤?
