What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise the charming atmosphere, particularly the outdoor terrace and garden courtyard, and many highlight the delicious French cuisine, especially local specialties like Ficelle Picarde. However, some reviewers note inconsistent service and slower pacing during busy periods, with a few expressing disappointment with specific dishes or recent changes.
"Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, and a wonderfully helpful waitress made our evening unforgettable. The dishes were full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with love. As for the Irish coffee—let’s just say it lived up to its name a little too well. I ordered a coffee with a splash of whiskey, but what I got was a generous pour of whiskey gently whispering “coffee” from afar. Absolutely loved it!"

"Nice place sitting outdoors. Cant say there was anything impressive….the waitresses seemed overly busy by the number of customers. However they were friendly. Cafe gourmand was a nice one. Don’t be in a hurry because the service takes a long time."

"Nice place at a great location. They found a table for us even though we came at lunch time only for a quick snack of fries and a drink.
The garden and terrace would be excellent for lunch if the weather allows. :-)"
