Short version: I’ve never left a 5* review before but food here was immaculate and service was really incredible. Reservation is recommended. Converted me into a fan of western food.

Long version: Made an impromptu decision to walk half an hour from our hotel to this restaurant during dinner time without a reservation and the whole restaurant was packed. Almost had to walk back in disappointment but one of the staff went back to check all the bookings and miraculously summoned us a really nice table in the restaurant.

The seat that we got was spacious even though the restaurant was filled with people and traditional restaurant design was really lovely. We were attended to by one of the waitresses almost immediately after we entered. Even though restaurant was crowded, the waitress that served us was extremely attentive (always checking on us in case we wanted to order or needed to refill drinks, etc.) We didn’t speak French but there were no communication issues at all because all the staff were fluent in English.

Food might seem expensive but prices were actually extremely reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of food. Ordered oysters, onion soup and three mains with a wine for the total to come up to only around 100€ for four people.

The food here was amazing. After touring England, Germany and Paris for the past three weeks, I can confirm this was the meal I enjoyed the most.

I will be having dreams of the french onion soup for the next few months because we don’t have that in my country and it was the most indulgent, warm and hearty soup I ever ate. Cheese wasn’t too overpowering and there were lots of herbs that gave the soup depth of flavors instead of being just salty. Very sinful soup that felt like comfort food and warm hugs.

Burger was the most juicy we ever had and the fries that it came with were super well seasoned and not soggy at all. In the words of my sister, a fries connoisseur, “These fries are the yummiest fries ever” Got medium burger since my sister couldn’t stand the beefy taste of rare meat but it came rarer than expected (~medium rare). My sister took one bite and said she was never going back to medium beef again. No meaty aftertaste, just tender and buttery deliciousness that we devoured in less than 10 minutes because it was too good.

I didn’t try the oysters but my parents said they were very huge and delicious. If you are there, also try the sea urchin because they look extremely huge and fresh. Prices for the seafood was also cheaper than anywhere you could find in my home country.

Truffle pasta was cooked to perfect texture and was easy to down despite being of cream base. They weren’t skimpy on the truffle at all and it tasted super flavorful while not becoming too rich or oily like most creamy pastas. It was really good pasta, but if you do go there, I would suggest skipping it and going for the other mains because the pasta was not as out of this world as the other dishes that we were served.

Also ordered the marinated octopus (which also had the most gorgeous plating ever) and it made my sister who doesn’t usually eat octopus to go back for more after trying a little piece (it was our parents food so we were taking small bites to try everything) + I couldn’t try the wine because underage but my parents said that it was good wine.

Safe to say that we were stuffed after clearing all the food but imo it was really the best meal we had during our travels in Europe so if you do come to this area you should try it !!

(Plus, not to be creepy, but our waitress was gorgeous with the most beautiful smile which made the whole experience that much better so you should come)
