I didn't expect that good, but wow they are so delicious. They serve boiled broccoli and roast potatoes in a different bowl.

This is a great small French restaurant. Popular so busy. A small set menu had enough variety and the food was delicious. Best pannacota I have ever had. Wine good too as you would expect. When booking ask for a table near the kitchen or window ( more polite than asking for one away from the toilet——it’s a very small restaurant. )

Food and service great. However, booked 6:15 and expected 2h slot but told that had to vacate by 8:00. Only had starter and main from Xmas menu, but wouldn't have had time for dessert and felt as if we were getting rushed out the door, which was a shame.

Absolutely fantastic. Outstanding food and service. Had the pleasure of trying the mussels and risotto which were life changing and introduced me to flavors I’ve never experienced before. Was absolutely speechless by how amazing the whole experience was. Will definitely come back to this great establishment. If you’re ever in town in need of top notch cuisine definitely stop by.

Excellent lunch experience with the set menu - each dish was very tasty (my partner *loved* the cauliflower soup), and the staff were welcoming and attentive. It's quite a small restaurant and clearly very popular so booking is highly recommended.
