Reviews of interest
- John Talbott (2012) “…eventually this place will be “found” and overwhelmed – so go now when it’s cozy, friendly, all-French, excepting the Anglo-speaking staff, and unaffected.”
- Emmanuel Rubin – Le Figaro (2012) “…une cuisine sans esbrouffe, disposant un classicisme fringant, aussi maîtrisé qu’assumé. Climat de belle sérénité pour finir de convaincre.”
- John Talbott (2012) “…makes a big impression from start to finish…really good looking stuff which runs about 35 E a la carte but they also have a “menu” for 15 or 19 E…”
