Fantastic experience that deserves all the praise. Had an amazing menu du jour lunch there. Excellent and friendly staff - not sure how two staff covered so many tables so well. Excellent food and generous portions. Will be back for dinner soon.

All of the food was wonderfully light but extremely flavorful. The staff was attentive and helpful too. The spinach and mushroom gnocchi may have been some of the best I have ever had!

An absolute cozy and historic bistro in the heart of carouge. We had a very warm welcoming and enjoyed every detail. We were lucky to try the delicious Christmas menu with a stunning presentation of every single dish. When you are from Geneva or just here for a a weekend you definitely need to have them on your list! (it was so worth it coming all the way from Lausanne) Always pretty booked so make sure to plan in advance. We are looking forward to our next visit.
