The intimate setting makes it a good choice for celebrations or a special night out, though seating is limited and pacing can vary. Overall the experience combines quality, creativity and warmth, inviting return visits.
It was a great experience dining at restaurant le carré. Scallop dish was good, but not top. On the other hand, we loved their duck pasta. Hearty but not too heavy/oily for the stomach. At the end, we asked Jean-François for a recommendation for a small dish to finish off our meal. He recommended the brussel sprouts dish garnished with cumin & pear sauce, which we loved. It was the perfect light ending for our meal that did not overwhelm us. Oh & JF also made our drink (passion carré) which was the right amount of sweet & sour. Thank you for the amazing experience!
Small & cozy restaurant that deliver great ambiance, very tasty food & surrounded by motivated staffs. I took the beef carpaccio & the seafood risotto. & I recommend them.

Absolutely LOVED the food & vibes of this beautiful place! I had a mule, fish & chips, & lemon pie. My colleague had the pasta, the lavender mule, & creme brule. We loved our little table by the window. Service was excellent!! Thank you for a wonderful meal & experience!! ❤?❤?❤?
Super soirée. Le service était bien & la nourriture délicieuse. Entrée calmars frits & choux-fleurs frits. Plats principaux fish & chips & tartare de boeuf. Le pain & le beurre miammmm. Drinks dispendieux mais alcool premium. Points à corriger. Les menus ont des tâches de nourriture dessus. Ils devraient être renouvelés. Le tip sur la machine est 18% 25% ou 30%. Ajoutez le 15%. Pour avoir 18% & 25% le service doit être exceptionnel. Nous reviendrons. Merci pour l'attention pour ma fête.
Whiskey old fashioned surprised me & it was pretty good. Small restaurant with excellent food , I would recommend a reservation. Not plenty of sitting area so book that table ahead of the game. Excellent service as well with friendly staff.

This restaurant is the Crème de la crème.
At first, It might look simple, but it's nothing short than perfect.
Between the beef carpaccio, Tuna Tartare, parsley soup, gnocchi & mushrooms & the Cordon bleu, EVERYTHING was delicious & beautiful like an art piece.
As for the service, it was superb👌
This restaurant offers a professional atmosphere with excellent food & service. We enjoyed the burrata, smoked salmon, grilled tuna, & salmon tartare. Excellent vegan options like gnocchi & cauliflower are available. Limited street parking is the only drawback.
Excellent en tout point! Nourriture excellente, très bon service, ambiance très agréable. Seul bémol, l'entrée est arrivée après 3 minutes. J'ai demandé au serveur de ralentir & tout s'est passé à notre goût. A répéter!
Cevice de pétoncles, choux de Bruxelles grillés, raviolis au crabe, loup-marin. Délicieux!
Visited in the summer of 2025, had an amazing meal. Even the starter bread & butter was such a good combination. Highlight's from the main included the duck confit pasta, the sauce was rich & lots of depth to the dish. Dessert was a dish that included ice cream & it was flat out best vanilla ice cream ever, so dense & smooth tasting. Overall, highly recommend!

Tried this restaurant for lunch. The clientele is mostly corporate people, which makes for a nice atmosphere. The food was very good, & the service was solid as well.
We had the burrata & tomato & the smoked salmon as starters, followed by the grilled tuna & salmon tartare as mains. Everything was delicious. I would definitely go back.
Street parking is available, but spots are limited.
VEGANS can choose from gnocchi with mushrooms & pesto (as a main), fried cauliflower with mouhamara sauce, or Brussels sprouts (entrés).
Comida excepcional, com destaque para a entrada (pedimos couve-flor frita com tzatziki). O robalo frito estava absurdamente bom e minha irma amou o ponto do polvo. Vale muito a pena pela comida e os vinhos também estavam com bons preços em uma grande variedade.
Un succulent fish'n ship pour moi, une pièce de viande délicieuse pour ma douce. Service impeccable. Beau choix de vin. Un peu bruyant. Nous y reviendrons asurément. ♥?
Excellent service, nos repas était délicieux & magnifiques, & les prix sont raisonnables pour la qualité de l'expérience. De plus, les produits sont saisonniers & locaux! Nous voulons définitivement y retourner.
