Delightful, small French restaurant. Staff very attentive. Food - rabbit bonbons starter was delicious, quite filling. My companion, who likes his meat gave the steak a thumbs up. The duck, served with green beans and mash. was flavoursome and tender. The bottle of red from Languedoc was good. I look forward to going there again.

Very original food, we had the prune, the egg, the iberico salad, the crozetto, the flatbread and dessert. Everything was amazing! The prune is served with an incredible balsamic vinegar, and is introduced as you would for a wine. This was already an experience in itself. All the other dishes were so flavoursome and the flatbread is a must-have! The dessert was a rhubarb cake served with a shot of rum, and was the perfect ending to a feast! We will definitely be back
