I liked it. It's a bit young & trendy so a bit of attitude is to be expected. The food was really good & the drinks were standard. Was expecting the louder music so that didn't bother me. At times staff was a bit too involved in their own social lives, but it's holiday time & it is a bar. I'd go again for a snack & a drink with someone I wouldn't want to sit with for a long multi-course meal 😁

Belle petite place dans le quartier Villeray, terrasse agréable. Manque d'ambiance musicale (même pas forte, de la musique aurait été agréable!) alors qu'à l'intérieur, la musique était très (trop?!) forte.
Très bonne nourriture, mais petites portions!
Belles découvertes de drinks & de vin rosé pétillant!
Service TRÈS long, aucune compensation.
