Je n'ai jamais voulu manger de boudin de ma (longue) vie. Hé bien, j'ai osé & j'en ai même repris! La cuisine est irrésistible; tout est bon, on peut piger dans le menu les yeux fermés. Mélange savant de traditions antillaises & d'exécution moderne. L'endroit & le personnel sont sympathiques. Les cocktails sont super. Une vraie découverte qui fait changement. Kalysta, on se reverra.

Quelle belle découverte dans Rosemont! Tout y était! Ambiance décontractée, service impeccable, sélections de vins & de drinks parfaites & SURTOUT : des plats plus goûteux & riches les uns que les autres. La dorade est tout simplement parfaite. J'y retournerai très certainement avec des amis ou des enfants, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Un gros merci!!
