A very good restaurant, made for gourmet budgets :) a very close experience to a Michelin Star restaurant. Good wines and very tasty food. Impeccable service. Three times, and it won’t be the last one.

Love this place. This is the second time we have been there for lunch. We arrive by boat and have been able to moor outside on both occasions. The food, staff and atmosphere are all excellent. the presentation of the food is exceptional. The menu changes and is quite small, but I like that as it means they get things right. You choose one starter, one main and a dessert for a set price of Euro 42. There are some items available to start e.g. oysters and tehre is  a good wine list.
