Daniela, quand tu auras envie de plaisirs gastronomiques ( n'est-ce pas Marta?)
Le Virunga !!!
Des parfums, un subtil mélange d'épices, de jolies assiettes...bref 10/10
Oui, l'attente fut longue ( une heure) mais la proprio nous a expliqué que tous les clients étaient arrivés en même temps, inhabituel.
Aucun gras, aucune lourdeur. Excellente digestion!
via LibroLe personnel est très sympathique & les plats sont succulents! Très belle découverte!
via LibroEncore un grand plaisir de profiter de l'accueil & des inventifs & succulents plats du Virunga !
via LibroMélange heureux de parfums dans chaque plat. Liste de vins intéressante. Service plus que courtois, on s'y sent accueilli. Ce qu'on mange bien au Virunda...

Deuxième visite, cette fois-ci avec des amis, & toujours une superbe soirée!!
Accueil, service, plats & ambiance impeccable!!
via LibroThe food was excellent. However, It was disappointing & surprising to wait well over one hour to receive our meal. We arrived at 6 pm & there were only two other guests in the restaurant. It was about 7.15 or later before our food arrived. I think it would be a good policy to inform guests if there are any unusual delays in the kitchen & if they elect to wait, to perhaps serve some bread as well as nuts.
via LibroLe Virunga was the most pleasant surprise I've had at a restaurant in a long time! The atmosphere is warm & inviting, even on a cold rainy night! The music was superb, & played at a volume that allowed for normal conversation. & the food ... absolutely delicious. We were 5 friends for dinner , & everyone adored their dishes. Mine was a pan seared Sturgeon, just delicious. & the plantain donut for dessert ... wow. I don't want to forget our server; she explained the dishes & eagerly answered our questions & even asked the chef when we had questions about substitutions. Cannot wait to go back. One more thing, lovely wine list, our Riesling was superb!
via LibroLe goût est exquis. Tout est extraordinairement bon. La seule chose qui pourrait rendre cela parfait est de plus grandes portions pour les plats. Une très belle découverte!
via LibroAmazing food, great service & a great affrican ambiance! I will go back for sure!
via LibroSuper accueil, bonne nourriture & bonne portion à partager pour gouter au plus de choses possibles!
via LibroI have been here 4 times so far & every time I am amazed by the quality of the food & service. The restaurant is over all great for intimate dinner. They do justice to high quality African food & local ingredients.
via LibroExcellente cuisine avec des goûts relevés qui nous transportent ailleurs le temps d'un repas!
via LibroUn petit bijou! Le service était excellent & la nourriture vraiment succulente. J'y retournerai très bientôt!!!
