Intimate and elegant restaurant in a beautifully restored historic boutique hotel. A class act. Service is friendly, relatively knowledgeable, and reasonably attentive.

A very pleasant moment spent in a relaxing and quiet environment, great food based on season products and very professional staff, attentive but not omnipresent. Loved it!

This is our revisit to this restaurant after 2 years as we had a great experience then. The level of quality was substantially subpar this time - service was slow and inattentive. The supervisor was clearing the table cloths from each vacant table at 9pm! This is unacceptable for a Michelin Guide restaurant particularly when other guests are still eating. As for the food, it was all less complex to the previous experience. The wine list does not have all wine options as formally advertised and I struggled to find a good pairing of my own choice. Very average and not deserving to be in the Michelin Guide anymore. We won’t be coming back.

Very tasty food and fast service! The location has also tables outdoor that are beautifully located in front of an old abbey. The only minus is that they could have left more space between tables outside and , considering the heat at lunch hours, propose a table inside .

Food was good but nothing extraordinary. Starter fish carpaccio was very good, the main course with lamb was overcooked but nice and the dessert was the best and most delicious course (tiramisu tart). Sommelier very good and service ok.

Had chefs 5 course dinner...asparagus starter was lovely and sweetbread course delicious. Next came pork belly...not fully rendered and tough. Then came a nice sorbet course..followed by another sorbet course. Nothing I would consider an entree, and no cheese course. For 75 EU it was disappointing.

Very good restaurant, nice interior, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. We had the standard 3 course menu which proved to be good value for money. High quality serving at reasonable price.

After two weeks in France and dining out often in really lovely places, I do think this is one I will remember for providing a very satisfying experience.

Amazing place, delicious food. Desert was one of the best I have ever tried. Really worth a visit even just for lunch. Location of the place is also super convenient

The food was excellent as was the ambieance of the restauurant,but the service was not very good,i had to keep topping up my wine and water myself,and the waiters kept pushing me to order a dessert when i still had a third of a bottle of wine to drink.

Absolutely fantastic food! Wonderful atmosphere and charming staff. Presentation and sauces were particularly good and although I do not normally have a sweet tooth, I devoured the deserts.

Excellent dishes with an original touch. Great presentation. Quality of the products. A bit noisy but that was Valentine’s Day. To be recommended. We both enjoyed the dinner.
