By far the best French restaurant in town, real French kir royal, followed by an amazing goat cheese salad and proper beef bourguignon, real French cream brûlée, and magnificent wine list, service was simply the best, very warm welcome.

A very mixed experience and not one I'd want to repeat. The wine was good, and good value, but some of the food was disappointing at best. The quiche was beautifully made, but the steak tartare was a bad choice and we couldn't eat it. The tarte tatin was delicious, but ruined by a smoke alarm going off above the neighbouring table. The staff ignored it completely and eventually the diners climbed onto a chair to turn it off. Very bizarre!! The manager Laurent didn't like my asking why no one had bothered about the alarm going off and was really rude to me. I was pleased to leave. I don't like posting bad reviews as people work really hard in these places. But what could be a cute warm basement wine bar was damp, cold and badly run.

Disappointing. Service was good and friendly and wine very nice. But the food was terrible. My beef burgnion was chewy with lots of gristle. And our crepes for dessert were cold and flavourless. We pointed out they were not hot but was told that was normal. A shame that such a great independent business has such poor food. I hope this was an aberration as would not want them to struggle.
