Magnifique terrasse cachée et ombragée par les platanes et les toiles tendues. Esprit guinguette, les plats sont copieux et délicieux ainsi qu’un bel accueil. Adresse à retenir pour passer un agréable moment en couple ou en famille avec un autre atout il y a un terrain de pétanque.

Excellent restaurant, rien à redire côté cuisine et service : les plats sont savoureux, l’accueil toujours agréable, et c’est un plaisir d’y revenir. Seul bémol malheureusement, indépendant du personnel : à la sortie du restaurant, beaucoup de clients restent sur le parking en parlant fort, voire en criant, parfois jusqu’à tard le soir. En tant que riverains, cela devient très gênant, surtout en semaine ou en période de repos. Ce serait appréciable que le restaurant sensibilise ses clients à respecter la tranquillité du voisinage.

Foie Gras salad amazing. Beef and salad dish were great. Dessert was a let down, didn't taste very good the lava cake. Thoroughly enjoyed the service staff were very friendly and the ambiance is cozy.

Just excellent both cuisine and service, very welcoming people and place. Fresh products and everything is homemade the chef has lots of imagination, I tasted for the first time a desert called Banafee that was awesome. Thanks to everyone for this great dinner I’ll come back for sure
