Our waitress was super attentive & energetic & gave us great suggestions. We would have never ordered the lamb croquettes without her recommendation. The food was unbelievable! We would definitely come back. Small portions was the only downside, but because of how flavourful food was, we were not upset. Instead we grabbed crapes elsewhere on the old town after!!

Tried the table d'hôte at Garde Manger in December 2023, & it was a feast for our eyes & palates. The seafood platter was beautiful & had an amazing selection, everything was super fresh. We enjoyed the lobster "pogos", as well as the grilled octopus & fish with brussel sprouts. The white truffle & pecorino pasta was tasty, yet not the favourite truffle pasta we've had. Service was efficient & friendly, & price was acceptable for such a meal, although we recommend coming with a big appetite if you plan to order this six course meal!

The food, atmosphere, & service were top quality. It has been worth the wait trying to get a reservation for dinner. You can't go wrong with anything from here. Have a culinary adventure with this team, & you won't regret it.
