A real treat—amazing flavors made with high-quality ingredients. The slow-cooked veal was succulent, and so was the wild garlic tartare. The service was incredibly friendly.

I’ve never been disappointed, even after visiting several times. Everything on the plate is beautiful and delicious. The staff is very attentive. The restaurant is spotlessly clean. There are parking lots nearby. You’ll leave delighted and eager to return. In fact, I’d like to go there on July 17 with some friends—about fifteen of us—and I wanted to know if the restaurant is open on the evening of Friday, July 17. Thank you for your reply. See you soon.Published on Dany ChantreauMarch 13, 2026 A pure moment of bliss! Generous portions that blend tradition and modernity. The dishes are given a fresh twist, the vegetables are delicious, and the seasoning is excellent. The menu is clearly explained, and it makes you want to try everything! The wine is excellent, too.Published on Carole CharbonnierFebruary 24, 2026Google Rating: 4.9 out of 5, Based on 354 reviews
