4.2 / 5.0(142 reviews)
Excellent.... Excellent. We discovered this restaurant this afternoon. The decor is lovely. There's a little background music. There were two of us who chose the €60 set menu: cocktail 🍸 , starter, main course, and dessert. For starters, we chose a plate of black pudding and a plate of shrimp tempura 🍤 . We opted for two virgin mojitos with pineapple 🍍 and passion fruit. For main courses: lamb shank, yam and sweet potato gratin, salad. Second course: grilled chatrou with Creole sauce, djon djon rice. The third person chose sea bream fillet. We enjoyed it. We chose to finish the meal with a gourmet platter. It was a big disappointment because the petits fours weren't homemade. It's a shame.

Good main course and starter, good quality and quantity. A slight drawback with the desserts, but that could be corrected. Pleasant and friendly waitresses. I recommend it.

Pleasant setting The plates are beautiful. Good quality grilled chatou, even if only lukewarm. Industrial gourmet platter :-( Overcooked passion fruit cake Mixed opinions regarding the cocktails (with or without alcohol) Overall, even though the staff is pleasant, I feel the restaurant is a bit underpriced.
