If you miss Paris & want to feel like you are eating in a Parisian restaurant, this is the place for you. Beautiful decor, delicious food & lovely atmosphere & service. For what you get, the prices are very reasonable. I would say it was actually better than the food we had in Paris!

Franchement ippperrrr déçue par l'assiette de fromages qu'on a commandée. La portion était ridiculement petite pour le prix je m'attendais à quelque chose de partageable ou AU MOINS à une portion normale. Le rapport qualité-prix est vraiment décevant. Le 3/4 de la portion c'était des pommes. Il y'avait 3 tranches de fromage minuscule vraiment la honte… En plus on avait été dit qu'il y'aura des noix mais il y a pas eu
Je ne reviendrais plus jamais
