My girlfriend and I went for dinner here and the experience was amazing. Surprising and delicious dishes with aesthetic presentation. The waiters were kind and explained every dish to us and if we had questions the chef took his time to answer any doubts.

We had the classic menu with the wine tasting and got the extra truffel for the pasta. Everything was great and we can recommend the place to others.

What a wonderful lunch service, thank you very much for these wonderful flavours and textures created. We are delighted by the non alcoholic beverages you served us. The explanations of the ingredients was very helpful to understand the layers, flavours and their origins.
Chef and Service were amazing.

Merci pour les mémoires.

What a lovely experience! Service was impeccable, the food was wonderful, and the space was fantastic. The starter dishes of Brie truffle mochi and onion mousse were delicious, the pea dish was INCREDIBLE, and I loved the dishware! I also got the non-alcoholic pairing which suited my meal perfectly. Highly recommend.
