"If you want to eat well and drink delicious wine, this is the perfect place. Our main course was the "Retour du Boucher", basically it was duck but it had an amazing taste that fills your mouth from the first bite. Then I had the "café gourmand" which is coffee and some little desserts.
We also had a glass of wine and beer.
Everything for 75€.
Worth it? Definitely."
