First time I sit in a restaurant and would like to order every single dish on the menu! After ordering almost every dish on the menu I’m very happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed by any one of them. I look forward to coming back to try the few dishes I didn’t get to try!

I had St Marcelin croustillant, joues de boeuf brasées and fondant de chocolat; all out of this world! The chef, Nicholas Giraud, serves the tables and is extremely personable. Will definitely return.

We arrived early, Nicolas received us as usual with warmth and a hug.. his great team delivered a wonderful service.. our delicious food ( cooked by Nicolas) was served rapidly and the wine we selected from an amazing carte des vins paired perfectly. What an ambience! Although the restaurant quickly filled up we were able to keep up a pleasant conversation without having to shout. Time flew..What a pleasant evening we had and our guests loved the experience

Beef cheek was tasty but had fatty pieces I couldn’t eat. Chestnut mousse was mostly cream. Fondant was delicious. Shame the lamb and chasse are not included in the discount. Overall always a safe bet.

The 2 servers were unprofessional and lacked any kind of intelligence. Its a pity that such long standing restaurant hires these kind of people…obviously we wont return and I wont recommend this place to anyone.
