    Perfect place to celebrate an occasion. The 7 course tasting menu is thoughtfully created and beautifully presented. We loved every dish. From start to finish we enjoyed every dish. The wine pairings were excellent as well although we didn’t have them all . Highly recommend this lovely spot which makes you feel like you are in Paris resto.

    Un vrai coup de cœur ! Menu dégustation original et savoureux, excellents accords mets-vins, service passionné. Ambiance détendue, pas guindée. Un peu cher, mais aucune déception : ça les vaut largement.
