“Lovely early evening supper. Booked last minute for a first time visit .Small and perfectly formed with just the right amount of french bistro charm. Bonus of Thursday night steak frites offer. Food is good. Service is really lovely, Wine was good value and the mini glasses of 'pression' beers a nice touch. Well worth it.”

“What a lovely place! We visited this charming French restaurant for brunch and had a wonderful experience. It’s a small spot with just a few tables and a short, well-curated menu. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a simple and elegant interior. The food was tasty, nicely served and reasonably priced. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel genuinely well looked after. We’ll definitely be coming back for dinner.”

“Friday night dinner for two. Great food, service and atmosphere. We had all 3 courses from the special menu. Scallop, venison and apple pie with rhubard ice cream. Beautiful wines including my favourite Sauterns to finish. Use it or lose it folks! A gem.”
