“ Enthusiastic chef. Very original menu. Each dish is a trip in itself. Great service. Wine list is reasonable. Merci. ”
“ I could really gush about my meal and and experience here, which starts with the setting, which is beautiful with the view of the Dronne. But the high point was the quality of the food from the kitchen! A bit on the pricy side but absolutely worth it! A memorable meal from a team led by Eric Daubert at the very top of their game. Equally memorable was the warm, cheery & professional waiter Pierre! ”
“ The tasting menu is perfect for anyone looking for a glance into French cuisine. The dishes and the whole experience were exquisite and really wonderful. The chats are very friendly and fun, while the location itself has no second thought. ”
“ Eric the chef prepared a fabulous beef wellington for our family by request. The food was exquisite and great value. Pierre was warm, friendly and incredibly attentive - one of the best waiters I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. Charming. We will definitely be back. Could not recommend more highly. ”
“ Amazing food, always lovely to discover new, great tastes! The service was excellent. Competence mixed with sincerity and humor is unbeatable. They went above and beyond making us feel welcome and made sure we had a great time! ”
“ Crème brulée!!!! Omg so good, maybe the best I've ever had. Delicious beef tartare and phenomenal risotto paired with perfect trout.....outstanding. The whimsical decor combined with the setting overlooking the river made for a really special meal. Fresh, innovative French cuisine. ”
“ When looking for a place for lunch on a gorgeous spring day, we happened on the open kitchen door of this fabulous restaurant. It was closed at the time, but the chef offered to whip us up either an omelette or a "brouillade" of truffles. After showing us around the restaurant, he seated us on the terrace, overlooking the Dronne. What followed was a "simple" (Chef Eric's word) and astounding meal, with service (by the lovely Englishman, Jack) that matched the food. They even accommodated my gluten intolerance! In all, an extraordinary experience, and one we look forward to replicating during actual business hours! ”
“ This is a wonderful restaurant in a fabulous location, and well worth a visit! It’s got a fabulous balcony that overhangs the river which creates a great backdrop atmosphere. The menu de jour is excellent value for money, the risotto and tuna were both hands down the best I’ve ever had. To top it all, it is managed by a lovely charming English guy who can help you with every enquiry with ease. Strongly recommend and thank you for the wonderful lunch! ”
