    Great evening, great service. A bit load, but that’s because we’re old. All in all a great night. We went to check out the Christmas market, haven’t been in years, and we are planning to add the evening at Cluny to our Christmas traditions.

    The meal and service were amazing. We had the Escargot and Foie Gras to start which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Then we had the Trout Meunière and Half Roasted chicken which so flavourful and delicious. We added Brussel sprouts which were the best I’ve ever had with a maple glaze, and Frites. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle which was beautiful and heavenly. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect place. Highly recommend! Also if you love wine the have the longest wine list I’ve ever seen. It was literally a book.
