"Absolutely superb meal. We shared a charcuterie starter that would have served four but we battled through! So good. And then the ravioles aux fruit de mer, gambas , mussels, scallops, ravioli, Parmesan..superb!!"
Mandy Straughan
"Very poor experience. The Salad came with a scoup of ice cream. The 2nd course (fish ragout) was very little and tasteless.
Wine on the menu was not available.
We saw dust on the wine bottles on the table and dirty surfaces.
We decided to not eat the 3rd course - the host skipped the 3 course menu pricing and calculated the starter and main seperately with was 15 Euros more. After paying by card we found put that he charged 4,50 Euros too much even.
He gave us back 4 Euros only in cash.
We left this place without having any words left..."
