This spot is a real diamond in the rough. The dynamic duo of Quan and Shan have skillfully curated a unique dining experience with their Japanese-French fusion restaurant. Its minimalist decor instills a peaceful and unformal ambience.

All with all, it was a beautiful, perfect and delicious experience of fine dining that we made a new appointment! I highly recommend to experience...

From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by Kuan—the sweetest bulldog I’ve ever met—whose charm set the tone for a truly memorable evening.
What makes this place truly special is their thoughtful hospitality. As someone who couldn’t leave my puppy home alone just yet, being able to enjoy fine dining with him by my side was priceless. The staff’s kindness and attentiveness elevated the whole experience, making it feel like a warm gathering rather than just...
