We booked for 4 people on Thursday evening. I was apprehensive when reading the reviews but wanted to form my own opinion. I find that some criticisms are very harsh and do not really reflect reality. The welcome is warm, the service very pleasant and quite fast. The cuisine, although quite simple, is delicious. All the dishes tested were perfectly prepared and we were very satisfied with them. It might take some effort to prepare the dishes, which lack a little originality, but the products are excellent and are sufficient in themselves. Of course the problem remains the fairly high price for ultimately quite simple dishes. We paid €230 for starters, main courses and dessert for 4 without wine. So a little expensive to go there regularly. One last point and this will be the only negative: we had warned in advance that one of the guests had to eat gluten-free. This was very well taken into account for the dishes but the waitress apologized for not being able to offer us gluten-free bread. It is very easy to get it in any supermarket, and even if it is not fresh bread, the attention would be appreciated...
We were there for dinner with four people and had reserved a table early that same day. We arrived at 7pm and got a table on the terrace. The restaurant is located on a square next to a small park. The lady from the service was very friendly and always tried hard. This makes you feel comfortable as a guest. Two of us have to eat a gluten-free diet due to celiac disease. We ordered the evening menu for 48 euros. The kitchen specifically asked which dishes on the menu were gluten-free. So all four were able to enjoy the menu. We were even served gluten-free bread. The wine list is excellent, with something in all price ranges and from all regions of France. The sommelier gave us very good advice. It was a great evening, we will definitely come back when we are in town again.
