Acceuil et convivialité dans ce lieux atypique. Une maison classique transformait en restaurant par une famille aillant tout quitté de leur ancienne vie afin de travailler ensemble dans une aventure qui débute en plein COVID. Et ça marche. Des prix très serrés pour des portions qui ne le sont pas. Et surtout, un régal pour les papilles. De l'entrée au dessert... Aucune fausse note... D'ailleurs, déjà prévu du retourner début janvier. À découvrir a tout prix.

Nous sommes arrivés à 12h15 table réservée, heureusement car le restaurant c'est vite rempli et cela le rend également très bruyant(si vous cherchez un moment de détente et de calme ce n'est pas là qu'il faut vous rendre). Nous avons eu nos plats vers 13h10, l'attente a été longue mais vite oubliée. Le personnel est très agréable et les plats qui nous ont été servi goûteux et plutôt copieux. Rien à redire sur cet établissement

Super expérience à cet endroit ! Le lieu est vraiment agréable, bien pensé et très propre. Le personnel m’a accueilli avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et de gentillesse. Le service était rapide et attentionné, on sent une vraie implication. L’ambiance est douce et apaisante, parfaite pour se détendre ou passer un bon moment. Je recommande vivement cette adresse — j’y reviendrai sans hésiter.
