Een aangenaam kader met zeer vriendelijke bediening. Heerlijke gerechten met verrassende smaken. Lekkere aangepaste wijnen maar erg kleine porties.

Le restaurant est très joli & le service impecable. Le menu dégustation, par contre ne vaut vraiment pas le prix. C'est supposément un restaurant gastronomique, mais les plat ne sont pas assez travaillés pour le prix. Sur 6 services, 1 seul plat contient des protéines (viande). Donc 120$ pour manger que des légumes..ce genre de menu devrait couter 70$. Les dessert étaient super bon je n'ai rien à dire.

Service & ambiance très sympa, mais cuisine ordinaire pour le prix! Nous étions 6 adultes & nous avons convenu que, sur 7 services, plus de la moitié des plats ne répondaient pas à nos attentes d'un restaurant gastronomique.

Impressive tasting menu that uses a wide variety of fresh ingredients in a unique way. My personal fave is the pre-dessert that served a tomato sorbet with balsamic vinegar & burrata whipped cream. It tasted very fresh & was exactly what you're looking for when thinking of a transition between savory & sweet.

The service is quick & our waiter was very kind. The place isn't very big so it's best to reserve before.
