Really friendly staff, who look after you very well. Didnt eat any food but by the looks of other tables it looked pretty yummy… small little spot which made it quite intimate. Very much a couples and girly vibe. A little bit more on the pricey side but I guess you’re also paying for the service and ambiance you get.

The resturant is beatiful, a very intimate and elegant space, the food was amazing too, we tried the Le Petit Degustation and every plate was full of flavour, the portions were right for a degustation menu, the wine was very good as well. The waiters were very elegant and friendly. Overall a great experience, I recommend it 100%
