"very nice place.
we had foie gras as starter, followed by turbot and multi desert.
food was good, as well as service and atmosphere.
but price is too high in my opinion. we paid 150e for 2 with tip, with virgin coktail and no wine."

"The front of house was nicely managed, very knowledgeable and precise. The food was all based on seasonal produce, as it should. Everything was cooked with the idea of simplicity in mind allowing for the fraichness of the food and its quality to speak for itself. Job very well done. I definitely recommend it."
