La serveuse savait, à notre arrivée, que nous avions un spectacle. Malgré cela nous avons dû manger en catastrophe parce que servis 15 minutes avant l'heure convenue.
Magret du canard was very, very good. Ours was served with blueberry sauce & crisped polenta. Gateau du fromage was excellent. Mousse au chocolat was good but lacked presentation. Nice seating outdoors or inside in open air.

Restaurant sympathique sur la terrasse dans une rue piétonne. Cependant le service a été long pour attendre la carte des desserts (pas loin de 30 min, la serveuse est passée plusieurs fois devant nous sans nous accorder un regard.. !) Les plats étaient bons (végétarien, poisson & légumes) mais le magret de canard ressemblait plus à de la semelle qu'à un vrai magret juteux & tendre, la cuisson était trop forte. Dommage.
I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. The food overall was delicious, the let down was the steak frites, which I was really looking forward too as well! The frites were great, but the steak itself was chewy & tough, I could barely eat it. I told the server that it wasn't very good (in the hope they would replace it), but nothing was done about it. I mentioned it again when paying the bill as I think it wasn't worth the price especially when it didn't taste good, & asked whether they would usually replace it, but to my surprise I was told they precook the steak & it's vacuum sealed. Maybe that's normal practice? All the other dishes were great. As for service, great attention in the beginning when we were the only ones, as the night got busy, they became forgetful :( but were kind
Même avec réservation nous avons dû attendre debout dans l'entrée notre table. Même une fois installés, il manque clairement de personnel. Les prix sont très élevés pour la quantité mais la qualité est bien
