Excellent service, souriant & chaleureux. Côté food, excellent aussi, nous avons opté pour les crêpes. En photo la crêpe mexicaine. Côté ambiance, la décoration est très charmante avec des inspirations de différents pays & époques.

Une place qui ne change pas, la soupe aux fruits de mer est aussi bonne qu'il y a 10 ans. Je souhaite à José encore plusieurs belles années!
