The food there is simply wonderful: original, tasty, and a pleasure for the senses. The location and atmosphere are also great. I was negatively impressed by the wine list: almost all wines were above 50€ a bottle with many above 100€.

Overall we enjoyed it very much and we recommend Datcha for anyone who loves good food, even if a couple of things could...

I was there for Sunday brunch recently. We were welcomed and steered towards our table on the first floor. The decor is very warm and comfortable with tables well spaced and lots of natural light and air.

We barely touched the croissants and pains au chocolat but they were excellent. Service was very attentive at first then got a bit sloppy as the restaurant filled up. Overall a very nice experience that...
