Reviews
Unfortunately, this visit was a bit different. We were seated inside at the second table from the far end corner, and no one advised us that it becomes extremely hot in that area during lunchtime. The heat became quite uncomfortable. I actually felt short of breath and couldn’t finish my meal because it felt quite suffocating.
In terms of the food, we ordered the risotto, snails, and a sandwich. The snails and the sandwich were fantastic, both were well prepared and very enjoyable. However, the risotto wasn’t quite to my taste as it seemed to have too much wine and was noticeably salty.
For future visits, it would be helpful if customers were informed about the temperature inside during busy or warmer lunch hours, as it can significantly affect the dining experience.
Overall, we still appreciate the quality of some dishes, but this visit did not match the comfort and enjoyment of our first experience.
I tried the roast chicken special with a beer, and everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly – juicy, flavourful, and clearly made with care.
I came with a friend of mine who is a chef, and even they were genuinely impressed by the quality and attention to detail. You can really tell when food is made with passion and pride.
Great food, great atmosphere, and a place I’d happily come back to.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cosy French spot with honest, well-executed dishes
The staff were very friendly and made the place feel so welcoming and comfortable.
Only stopped in for coffee with my niece. Wasn’t busy and we could chat peacefully in private.
