We had the knuckles (a family recipe of the owner), the steak tartare burger-style & the goat cheese tarte as entrées. We loved everything, but we would particularly recommend the goat cheese dish, it was beyond delicious!

For our mains, we had the gnocchi, which were unreal & the pintade. We shared everything & were too full for dessert, although we really wanted to try the mousse au chocolat.

The portions are on the smaller side, so I would recommend ordering multiple dishes, just as the server suggested. The service was lovely & the atmosphere felt so cozy. Seriously, a 10/10 experience!

Matthew est un serveur/proprio fort sympathique, toujours aussi délicieux avec de belles innovations à découvrir à chaque visite. Le granité au negroni était sublime!

Quaint restaurant. It is small but cute. The food was delicious. Service was excellent. Their cocktails are very interesting. I particularly enjoyed the tamarind & kimchi one.
I tried the set menu & honestly it was delicious. I really like the mushrooms with the bleu d'Élizabeth sauce.
The Wednesday price of 45$ for the tasting menu is very fair. We also got cocktails at 2 for 1, so that was also very nice.

2nd time here, this round involved getting the Shared Tasting Menu. The food was nice but contrary to our first visit back in 2023, we found most dishes to contain a little too much sauce or creams. The ingredients served are so fresh/local & lovely on their own that I feel their natural flavors would be best elevated with more subtle seasonings/herbs/fruit/etc that could better balance the experience of each dish
