One of the best meals I've ever had! Chicken with olives, beef in fig sauce, chickpeas & beans on top of couscous. They gave us chickpea hummus to start, & tea to finish. AMAZING!
Somme toute, nous avons été très déçus de notre expérience. Je ne pouvais pas indiquer 1-2 étoiles sinon ce message ne serait pas visible par tous...
-il y avait de la moisissure sur les pitas
-il nous propose une assiete à part pour le plat végé, mais l'oublie
-le plat principal est correct
-pas de dessert inclue dans la table d'hôte
-seulement une option à 25$ chaque (sans facture)
-la toilette est répugnante
-seul point positif : le thé à la menthe très chaud & bon !
Très bon restaurant, très bon accueil, qualité de la nourriture excellente, très bonne quantité, très bonne ambiance, bref tout était parfait, merci au super propriétaire :D
