“ Great and personal service staff who speaks English very well. Resonable pricing for 3 courses menu, very appetising presentation for all dishes. Like to thank lady owner who passionately shared with us history of the restaurant building and her garden herbs.. ”
“ This restaurant is the perfect, quintessential French experience. The food is 10/10!! We’ve had most of the available dishes on the menu, and we can’t stop coming back! The patio is the perfect spot to eat during the warm months, but by far the very best thing about this place is the staff! They are all so incredibly attentive, friendly, warm, and inviting. We can’t wait to go back again, even though we’ve been twice this week already! I’d give the place 6 stars if I could! Thank you for the consistently amazing dining experiences! ”
