"This place run by a dynamic couple turns out to be a pleasant surprise. They are setting about putting a new spin on good old bistro cuisine, in a contemporary setting – exposed brickwork, wood and an open kitchen. Roast scallops, watercress and Ossau Iraty cheese; skate wing, parsley root and Grenobloise sauce: a real treat... and a top tip!" - Michelin Inspector

High quality ingredients, dishes made with care. Great presentation and service as well. 3 course meal under 50 euros per person, we enjoyed our lunch.

We had a very pleasant experience visiting for lunch! We got the 5 dish tasting menu which was tasty and interesting in its concept and ingredients. Very kind, attentive, and helpful service. Would definitely go back!

Cute local place with decent food and good quiet vibe The service was disappointing: rushed and almost rude and indifferent The staff doesn’t speak English which makes it hard to communicate and they don’t even have an English menu

What a fabulous place! The vibe is just so cool, the details in the decor and ambiance make it such a pleasure. The food is another notch here. It’s a basque modern influenced feel. Focus is on quality of ingredients, brining the natural flavours alive on plate and just having an amazing experience overall. It’s hard to describe every plate but each has a story to tell and it’s worth listening to. The service is fabulous and attentive. The overall value for what you are getting is on par too. A must!

Food was plated beautifully. We had chicken with asparagus, fish on a bed of fresh green peas and lamb with grilled carrots. The chicken was tender, the fish tasted fresh and the lamb, it was so tender and tasty, it literally melted in the mouth! Food was superb, ambience cosy and the server, a young lady spoke good English which helped us as we could not converse in French.
