Perfectly balanced between fine dining & greasy spoon. Leaning more heavily on fine dining. All the dishes were beautiful & the staff was welcoming.

Pour le lunch, j'ai dégusté une guédille aux crevettes nordiques &, en dessert, un délicieux Bombolone choco-camerise. Tout était vraiment savoureux & frais, avec des saveurs simples comme j'aime. L'équipe est super sympa. J'ai déjà hâte de revenir!

Excellent vibe, service was really nice & cool, food was good & genuine. We we not so sure about the lamb tartare Kibbeh, it was a bit bland, but the knuckles are to die for!

Super soirée dans ce resto de quartier : nourriture exceptionnelle, gros coup de coeur pour le tartare d'agneau & sa petite sauce à la menthe & pour la salade de Kale avec sa micro julienne de pomme de terre. On nous a aussi conseillé des vins qu'on n'avait jamais bu ailleurs, des accords vraiment heureux avec nos plats. On y retournera.
