Très bon service & ambiance intéressante. Salade fattouche un peu décevante pour le prix, mais humus-shawarma & morue charbonnière sont vraiment savoureux. Je recommande chaudement cet endroit!

Nice decor & ambiance. No wait time to be seated. Waiters were attentive (both at taking our order & also taking our plates away). Maybe felt a bit too rushed to clean our table. Food was tasty but portions were very small & not worth the price. We were left hungry & went down the street for dessert. I don't think I would return. Overall ok experience.

Terrace seating was very nice for brunch. Everything we ordered was amazing except for the shakshoka which was average. The pancakes are a must try!

What a spectacular dining experience we had! Such a great menu & very welcoming staff. We went for brunch with 2 young kids & everything on the menu was so tempting..made it hard to decide. The pancakes are out of this world & an absolute must! Cocktails are delish...& they have bottomless mimosas!!! (Something I'll indulge in when I'm not with the little ones lol). Highly recommend & look forward to going back soon.

Amazing food with a great variety. The service is impeccable & the ambiance is fun & happening, yet enjoyable (not clubby). Oh... & the drinks are to die for!
