Très beau restaurant avec un menu délicieux! Les portions sont surprenamment assez généreuses. Belle ambiance & la serveuse a su nous recommander d'excellents plats pour notre première visite. Un peu dispendieux, donc à réserver pour les occasions spéciales. Je n'ai pas encore essayé le brunch, mais c'est sur ma liste.

Great food, portions are okayish - don't expect Toronto level portions. & bread is served only with select few dishes, unlike Toronto restaurants where they continuously keep serving breads.
