Restaurant très bruyant, il est presque impossible d'y avoir une conversation sans se crier. La cuisine est très très ordinaire, On aurait aimé que les saveurs soient plus relevés ce qui n'est pas le cas. Le service est convenable. Je n'y retournerai pas.

This restaurant is located in the former Chez Lambert restaurant in the heart of Saint-Lambert. Great service from Antoine as a walk in on a busy Saturday evening. We had the tacos al pastor & the the chicken quesadilla with margaritas.

Very very flavourful with good portions. Tender meat & great seasoning.

Everything was explained greatly by Antoine & we want to underline how great he made the experience.

We will definitely be coming back here again soon!
