The restaurant exudes a cosy ambience with lovely decor, making guests feel welcome and at home, much like dining with locals.

Tips: If you’re not familiar with the menu, don’t be shy to ask and there is no service charge in the bill. So make sure you bring small cash for tips.
The place offers a wide variety of authentic dishes, and we couldn’t resist ordering a full-course meal. Everything was excellent and definitely worth trying.
The only dish we didn’t particularly enjoy was the snails. They were okay, but since we’re used to French escargot, they weren’t quite to our taste.
Overall, a must-try restaurant.
Just awful, read great reviews online and it’s near our hotel so we decided to try. We arrived to be met by 3 very unfriendly almost dismissive staff, two in black suits and one in casual wear (assuming the manager, dyed orange hair)
We ordered our food from the dark haired waitress who never greeted us or made any kind of conversation, the food arrived, pasta ... undercooked but edible (nice sauce and not al dente as we know what that entails)
Almost finished when I reached over to try some of my sons food, the blonde waitress comes over and lifts our plates as I’m still eating, we were dumbfounded, actually horrified at the audacity and arrogance
This was witnessed by the manager who stood behind the bar and watched, disinterested
This is a place that is aiming to be something it’s not, pretentious and arrogant staff who clearly don’t want to be there ( here’s a hint ladies if you don’t want to be there then go, plenty of excellent waitresses and managers out there who know how to do their jobs properly who could turn this place around)
