"Gourmet value! The restaurant served creative courses which delight one's tastes as well as sight. The cold soup with cheese is a must try. The soup title may not sound appealing but you won't be disappointed with it's taste. The green beans on flan was very neutral tasting. We had expected it to emphasize a seaweed flavor. Of course take the chef's recommendation for the Quenelle de Brochette. Enjoy!"

"Excellent restaurant with amazing food at acceptable prices (menu at 33 eur) . Everything was delicious from start to the end. The service was a little slow and it would have been great to have some more explanations about the delicious food we were served. Often we had to ask and the answers were a bit in a rush.
I will definitely return and I'll put this address in my favorites."

"We ordered 3 courses dinner. As a start we were served with a small bowl of amuse bouche which taste good. Wonderful meal and the portion were just right."

Just behind the Palais de Justice, this little néo-bistrot (think comfortable vibe but contemporary design) has a €33 prix-fixe formule that is nothing short of superb in terms of both value and quality. Artisanal terrine of free-range duck, rillettes de maquereau en salade de chou chinois (mackerel fillets in Chinese cabbage salad), and fillet of rockfish with peppers are just some of the interesting morsels at this innovative, affordable address.
