a cute restaurant but for me, it was a little disappointing. i think the interior is lovely and the servers are great, but generally the food was average and the service was slow.
the white wine was okay but very standard, wish it was a bit more poignant. also took quite a while to get it. it was a busy restaurant so I understand, but there were plenty of people on shift.
the magret de canard à l’orange to share was plump and perfectly cooked, however it was served a bit cold. i also thought the lentils lacked flavour and the whole dish needed a lot more salt and pepper. the potatoes were really nice and crispy though, and the roasted carrots had a good earthy sweetness. the best part of the dish was probably the gravy, although I wish there was a stronger flavour of orange.
the dessert took a very long time to be served and it was not really worth it, the riz au lait was one-noted and just tasted of sweet milk. undeniably this is an enjoyable flavour but it lacked depth, like a dash of vanilla or cinnamon or a jam.
the moulleaux promised more than it gave, it was quite dry even with the custard on top, and it lacked in cocoa. quite bland, to be honest.
sorry, but i believe you can get a much better experience for a similar price somewhere else. that being said, i am happy they welcomed us quite late on a sunday night, and the restaurant was very busy so i think many people enjoyed it. it was fine but not great, that’s all :)
