This was a new experience for us, but we loved the fact that the share plates were big enough for the 2 of us. We originally had chosen 4 shared dishes, but after the first dish, we reduced it to 3. The food was beautiful and certainly plentiful! And our waitress was awesome, highly recommend :-)

We had a group celebration meal at lunch time and, as always, the cuisine was perfection. The wine and table service were also excellent, along with the warm welcome we have always experienced. I booked with confidence for our group, knowing everyone would enjoy a superb lunch, which they did. Merci à tous ❤️
