Cannot even begin to explain my experience at La Sauvagine. Had to go twice to try other things in the menu, it was that good. Service was fantastic & the staff made sure we were taken care of. The place is lovely while with character. Cozy & interesting, feels like I went to have dinner at a friend's house who happens to be a fantastic chef. I recommend the variation de canard & the trio of wild game. Came here for dinner, left here with new friends.

This place is good, I would recommend the chicken Piri, you get to eat at a nice place in the old port & get out with around 40$ & I was full by the end of the night. They also give you free bread & olive so I would skip the entree & dessert. The waiters are very kind & have an old school style to them which I appreciated. If you really want to be at the old port & find a nice sit down restaurant, this is a nice option

Only thing is weird is why the plates are super hot, I'm seeing microwave here & I'm guessing that is why. I find it odd...but the food was good so

We had a fantastic experience at "La Sauvagine"! The ambiance was warm & inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal.
Our waiter, Anthony, provided excellent service-he was incredibly welcoming & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed . We arrived from the cold, & he thoughtfully turned the heater on for us, making us feel instantly comfortable.
The food was just as impressive. The French onion soup was hands down the best in the city-rich, flavourful, & perfectly balanced.
I also loved escargots, which was perfectly cooked, seasoned & presented.
The ingredients tasted fresh, & the portion sizes were just right. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the delicious meal, made our visit memorable.
I highly recommend La Sauvagine to anyone looking for great food & a wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to return! We will definitely be back!
