10/10 one of the best meals I’ve ever had and if not the best meal I’ve ever had in France.

The family owned restaurant itself was very nice, a lovely setting for an evening meal.

The staff were also fantastic, very welcoming, friendly and funny. They explained all courses and provided a high quality service.

The star of the show was the food, each dish was delicately put together and tasted (and looked) incredible. There were even more courses than we expected due to the amuse bouche and sort of aperos and more.

I had a three course (for €49) meal which is shown below. Fois Gras, Canard and a chocolate sort of mouse dessert. The image with a mushroom on was the amuse bouche, a mushroom and ham cappuccino.

Incredible place, a must visit if you are visiting the area.

Absolutely the best service, layout and most importantly, the quality of the food is top class, I never write reviews but I feel like I need to (not that they need the help). Everything about the experience was worth every cent, from the amuse bouche to the filet de beouf to the soufflé.

Thankyou for the super friendly experience. You can see just how much attention to detail and how much the family care for their clients and workplace.

Also has arguably the fluffiest 2 chickens in a chicken run that I have ever seen, I kid you not, I have been to many a zoo in my time and I have never been more impressed as I was when I saw possibly the world's first chicken with an afro, insane - no photo available but you have to go to see them,

10/10 highly recommend 👌

We went back after 13 years, as we had excellent memories of this place. What a feast it was! From the different ‘amuse Bouches’ to the desserts. Each plate was done to perfection and this for a very reasonable price. They also served a very nice child menu which our children devoured. Will be back hopefully sooner next time!

Excellent!!!!!!! Just had the most wonderful gastronomic lunch… friendly service and food to die for, presentation 10/10! The fois gras with cherry was absolutely delightful as well as the main course with duck. The menu included mise-en-bouche which were amazing too!! You feel the love in the kitchen. Just a note but still is small detail: The walnut soufflé was a little too sweet for us, we would reduce the sugar of the soaking syrup of the small baba that is on the bottom. (We are sorry, we are in the pastry business and we love when the desserts are not too sweet). Overall: I highly recommend! Oh and they have a lovely garden with trees for you to be in the shade. Thank you for a lovely experience!!!!
