I had an amazing dinner here! We went for the "feast", which consisted of three courses with various small dishes. Along with that, I had a delicious local beer brewed just thirty meters from the restaurant.

We had an really good experience ! From kindly and professional service to amazing flavor and taste, all the steps were unique. We decided to go on the lunch feast. Entrées: salad, fresh cheese with incredible subtle flavor and fresh sourdough bread. For the main course we had intense caramelized veal cheeks with thick juice accompagnée with amazingly roasted potatoes with an excellent green sauce, turnip on the side with mustard seeds... exquisite meal! All pair with an organic Italian rose wine. For the dessert we had pepper ice cream with white chocolat cream. Don't doubt on eaten here...for 45€ per person ..this kind of quality is a rare, the only point I will improve from this experience is them to provide more bread during the meal
