Best and most fun meal of our two week trip. Reserve in advance. Do not miss this restaurant if you enjoy excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Completely unpretentious and completely unparalleled.
The wine pairings are excellent. The glasses are small---because there are 5 of them. When we went, dinner + the wine pairing was about 50 euro total per person. Definitely a bargain for the experience.
Portions are deceptively small--by the time the last course came around, we were very full. The chef coaxed full flavors out of top ingredients. Excellent execution without fussy fabrication.
Proprietors are knowledgeable and welcoming, and more than happy to share their hospitality!
Menu changes weekly so be sure to go back. If you speak English, the host likes to practice, so be friendly!

The 5-course meal is very reasonably priced (52 Euros/pp when we were there) and each course is perfectly sized. You won't walk out of there feeling like an "elephant" (in spite of the name!). Get the wine pairing or just ask them what they recommend and you'll get a story about the wine and the winemaker with every pour. If you add up the food + wine + friendly staff you get an amazing dining experience. Thank you Les Elephants! We'll be back for sure next time we...
Read moreI was not ready for this. Invited for a friend's birthday I had the pleasure, the luxury, to be served 5 dishes and matching wines. What I love when a real chef is playing, is the surprise to love something you usually not care for. The consommé de champignons, espuma au café is not your typical go to when you have to order. Good thing here : fixed menu. You don't order. And you don't miss. Really good experience. Delicious food, delicious surprising wines that you won't already know, caring waiter (he's the co owner). For real, if you can, because it's rather...
