Reviews of interest
- Figaroscope (2008) “…il est toujours aussi difficile de trouver une table dans ce petit bistrot moderne…”
- Chocolate & Zucchini (2003) “The restaurant is airy and bright, with red chairs and orange walls, very warm…I went for the Tarte fine aux poireaux, Foies de volaille confits, a thin and biscuity crust, topped with strips of leek, a delicious layer of crumbled duck liver and salad leaves.”
