This restaurant is a charming, cozy little spot tucked away on a super quiet and hidden street in the city. We went on a recommendation and were left with mixed feelings.

🔼The appetizers were excellent, well-matched in terms of flavor and combinations. The selection of cheeses and meats, along with the cold starter, was great. The fondue was good quality and pretty tasty.

🔽What felt strange? The service. Not all of the staff were friendly, only two ladies were really attentive. But we had to wait a long time to be served. It was also odd that for 50 euros for two people, the classic fondue only came with bread. We had to order vegetables separately, which I found quite strange.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience. Hopefully, you’ll continue to improve the service and menu options.

Very cosy place with a nice intimate atmosphere and cute decorations that do make you feel like you’re in a French Chalet. Our server could not have been nicer - attentive and sweet even when very busy. The Raclette was delicious, as was the charcuterie and the potatoes perfectly cooked. I wish the salad portion was bigger because it was also very tasty. Overall a lovely evening, would definitely come back!

Very delicious fondue! Charcuterie and smoked butter were excellent! You will never leave this place hungry. Do make a reservation in advance as it’s usually fully booked.
