The definition of the word "charming" - a very small Provençal restaurant where the friendly young chef will lean towards your table and ask you your favorite amuse vouchers of the three he's crafted. Creativity and craftsmanship is excellent - regional flavors are expertly blended and structured. Only negative is the flip side of charming - the small set up means everyone leaves smelling of grilled lamb and it's a bit crowded.

Chef extraordinaire alert! The vibe here? Super close-knit with the entire crew-everyone gets a shoutout! The trifecta of perfection: food, service, and ambiance all in harmony. Cozy doesn’t even begin to cover the unique, heartwarming experience you’re in for. And guess what? Chef Romain flips the script every two months with a fresh, wildly creative menu. Talk about culinary rollercoaster-hold on tight for some seriously crazy delicious surprises! Definitely a must try

Lovely place, it's small but cozy. It feels down to earth but also high quality. I really enjoyed my food(Carabineros was my favorite one)and they gave you souvenirs to take home. Chef Romain is super friendly and funny at the same time. Would definitely visit again!

Absolutely LOVED it here! Opted for a 5 course lunch. Each course was superb and to my surprise, the sorbet cheese was my fave! Chef was super nice and personable. Even picking your knives came with a personal story which I loved! Honestly loved it way more than 3-stars in HK! Well deserved ⭐️ Restaurant was cozy and cute, gave me a bit of Emily in Paris vibes! Would 100% come back again!

Trust me, you won't just leave satisfied; you'll leave with a heart full of joy and a palate eager for the next adventure!

We celebrate birthday here, the food is delicious as expected. But most of the waiters introduce the food too fast, or not so clear, and the sounds in the restaurant are quite loud, which make us kind of confused about the introduction. The wine pairing is not a must, cuz the price is pretty expensive, and the wine choice is not very special. The chef is very energetic and welcoming, which makes the dining experience very special.

Had lunch there. Great experience. Chef was passionate and attentive. The food was perfect and was so beautifully plated my friend and I almost felt bad consuming it lol.

Blown away by the food and service. We’ve eaten a lot of fine dining and Michelin - starred restaurants so over time, a lot of the experiences tend to blur together. The reason the food and service is particularly memorable is because of the friendliness of the staff and the chef - it’s not overly formal and stuffy, the easygoing nature of the staff really suits our style. The food is creative but not too **interesting** where you’re like “this is definitely creative and interesting as art, but I’m not sure I LIKE it”. The food is creative AND interesting AND still delicious - each bite is like a warm hug. Can’t wait to come back.
