"Superbe découverte! On a adoré! On s'est régalé! Accueil sympathique, service pro, attentionné et rapide. La carte de cocktails est variee avec certains très originaux. Les plats sont excellents: goûteux et avec de très bons accompagnements de légumes. Côté desserts, nous avons craqué pour les suggestions du jours (poire pochée et chocolat noir en mousse) et quel plaisir d'avoir des desserts riches en saveurs mais sans trop de sucre! En bref, je recommande vivement!!"

"Un petit Bistro chic à l'ambiance familiale 'ville d'hiver'. Cuisine fine et généreuse aux assiettes joliment dressées. Une cave bien achalandée et un service agréable. Idéal pour un repas en famille, entre amis ou même juste à deux en amoureux. Magnifique reproduction des baiseuses de Dalí sur le plafond du comptoir !"

"We have been running around Spain and France for 3 weeks. We were so tired of eating our dinners with toothpicks (tapas) found Gaston walked up were promptly greeted by Nicholaus told him my wife needed some greens oddly enough salad is a rarity in this trip. He actually made up a wonderful salad, then we asked his recommendations, which was a beef carpaccio appetizer, wife had a skirt steak and I a sausage with mashed potatoes. Boy was that gooood. We even let our desert get picked and it was a chocolate benign. All in all probably one of our best meals in three weeks ."

"Fine restaurant, not too special. The service is friendly, and you're on the boulevard af a nice place. The fish was fine, and so was the wine and the dessert. There's nothing to change drastically, in my opinion!"
