The bottomless brunch food options are very limiting (three options). Eventually they agreed to let us pay the difference of picking a main outside of the "Classics". The venue was very strict on the 90 minutes of drinks (it starts from your reservation not when everyone arrives). The saving grace for the venue was that the burger and truffle fries were yummy and they had a great variety of drinks available for bottomless brunch.

Great place, very quirky and cosy. We had lunch Caesar salad’s for lunch, the chicken was a bit dry and there wasn’t a great amount of sauce so had to ask for more, the staff were very attentive. Highly recommend the truffle chips. I’ll definitely be going back as really like the venue and it’s local.

It was very quiet, not much atmosphere seeing as we’d booked a bottomless brunch. I think we were the only people there at 1 point. That being said, the food and service was 10/10.

Menu de Noël imposé. Nous avons reçu l’entrée avant nos apéros. Nous avons dû ralentir la cadence pour la suite car les plats s’enchaînent. Qualité des plats très très moyenne au regard du prix. Rapport qualité-prix très mauvais.
