Great welcome and service. Particularly impressed by the chef welcoming us as he presented an amuse bouche, th en coming back at the end of the meal with a cookie to check that we'd enjoyed our meal. The choice of meals was varied and they cater for vegetarians. The food was well cooked, using fresh, local produce. The outside area is pretty with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Absolutely fabulous! We have had two meals here and both times were memorable. The chef personally greets you with a small dish then he ends the meal with another small treat. What personal service! The servers, in particular Elodie, were exceptional. Elodie spoke English and went through the entire menu for us (5 Americans). The setting is charming and the food beyond belief!

What a wonderful meal- hands down one of the best I've ever enjoyed. The food and flavours were incredible, clearly prepared with such care. The friendly service and great atmosphere were perfect. The bill was very reasonable when you consider the standard of cooking and quality wine provided. Thank you so much! We will be back.

Update 2023 It's still my absolute favourite place to eat out near our house. It just gets better and better... 2021 This place is so good that we were already discussing booking another table before we'd tasted any food. The service is fantastic. Friendly and welcoming and the perfect amount of attentiveness. The chef is clearly very passionate about what he creates, even bringing your food to the table and telling you about what you're about to eat. We all loved everything about it and can't wait to go back and taste other things from the small but thoughtfully put together menu. Can't recommend it enough!
