"Quite popular place. Important to make reservations. I ordered ribs but waitress misunderstood and brought fillet which was prepared to perfection. Tender served with tasty mushroom sauce. Great selection of wine. Cafe gourmand had generous selection of ice cream, gâteau (cake)creme brûlée, panacotta, coffee and other items. Crem brûlée one of the best I’ve had. The waitresses could have been a little more finessed with how they served food. I did not order burger but they looked delicious."

"Delightful experience, this place came as quite a surprise. The decor is tasteful, the location is unbeatable and the food is absolutely exceptional. We both chose menus, and my favourite was the stuffed chicken with mushrooms, crème brûlée was also scrumptious. The service was quick and friendly, perfect spot for a romantic meal or even to hangout with loved ones. Highly recommended."

"Today I came here with my Dad for dinner. It was amazing. The food is amazing we both had the stake, I highly recommend it. And for dessert I had a the Chocolate Lava cake whilest my dad had the pistachio Tiramisu. Personally I remember that you use the menu so that it’s a bit cheaper like this you have the apatiser, main meal, and dessert for 34 euros. The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. I highly recommend coming here."

"We like our food. After 3 weeks in Germany, this was our first restaurant meal back in France, as we travel to the Atlantic coast. Heaven! We had Dos de Cabaillaud and a Tuna Tataki, a bottle of Jura tradition, a coffee and a creme brulee. Yes, please. Delightful."
