Location From the outside, the restaurant looks rather unassuming and small. It doesn't have its own parking; you have to park along the street. Inside, on the ground floor, there's a large and a small dining room. Outside, there's a small, simple self-service terrace right by the street. Behind the building, there's a small covered outdoor area, as well as a two-story, cozy garden with tables, chairs, and a few sofas, nestled in the shade of the trees. Service: The service was consistently friendly and the staff occasionally cracked a joke without being intrusive. Most of the time, someone came immediately when we needed something, and the waiter was very attentive and anticipated our needs. Food: We opted for the four-course surprise menu (and made some requests). We were truly spoiled for choice, in the best possible way! The portions were particularly generous. The cold tomato soup was delicious and beautifully presented. The second course was a similar salad with various cold meats (crudités). Unfortunately, the main course didn't quite live up to the high standard of the previous courses: While the veal steak was enormous and the fries perfect, the meat had been cooked a touch too long and was therefore a bit dry, and the vegetables were already slightly brown from the heat. The sauce was a little thick and lacked a certain something. The dessert plate, with brownie, mango ice cream, blueberry cake, and chocolate mousse, was a complete success. I especially enjoyed the lightness of the chocolate mousse, with its hint of orange. Conclusion/Criticism: What I disliked (as I've experienced elsewhere) were the restrooms! They were rather oddly located in a small, former shed in the garden. The men's restroom had two urinals, but both were out of order. This meant there was only one men's restroom for the ENTIRE restaurant, which was also used by the staff. A wait was therefore inevitable. There were at least two restrooms for women. Regarding cleanliness, I've definitely seen better; the fixtures, in particular, were dull and splashed with grime. On the plus side, the food (the menu) is truly excellent value for money! The gravel garden, with its many nooks and various seating areas under the trees, is definitely worth a visit on warm days! I will certainly go back. Note for guests with mobility issues: If you walk around the left side of the building, you'll reach the garden at ground level. The steps behind the house in the garden are quite high in places.
