Delicious food, we shared the salmon tartare which had wonderful flavours & beautifully shucked fresh oysters, as well as our own main dishes. Friendly service & nice atmosphere, we just wished we had more sauce for the steak & more crackers for the tartare. All-in-all a great place & we're happy we tried it!
Malheureusement, il y avait une réception & c'était très bruyant. La nourriture était correcte mais ça déjà été meilleure. Par contre, le service était excellent.

We had a great time & the food was great. My family has been coming to La Prunelle since 2017 & despite the menus changes over the year we've never been disappointed!

Les tables sont trop proches l'une sur l'autre. Nous ne pouvions pas nous parler normalement, car les gens étaient trop bruyants à côté de nous.
La pieuvre n'était pas aussi bonne que d'habitude & mon morceau de morue était minuscule.
Je suis allé plusieurs fois, cette fois j'ai amené quelqu'un de nouveau qui m'a demandé à la fin du repas "Pourquoi tu as choisi cet endroit ?". Puisqu'elle a été déçu.
