15/05/2026: Good value for money, decent food

01/05/2026: We came as a family for lunch. We were able to easily book by phone the day before. We were warmly welcomed by the manager and comfortably seated on the terrace. We chose the €75 tasting menu with wine pairing, the most expensive option. Overall, we enjoyed the dishes and the meal in general. We particularly liked the scallops, the beef Wellington, and the Grand Marnier soufflé. However, having chosen this type of tasting menu at other restaurants, we didn't find the value for money to be there. A few examples that could be improved: When the courses arrived, none of the dishes or wines were announced (and we no longer had the menus). Thirsty, we had to ask for a carafe of water at the end of the meal, which had never been offered (no apology was given). The service was rather sloppy, and the waiter was generally unfriendly. The pre-dinner cocktail was quite sweet, served with a candy skewer, which was inappropriate for the start of a tasting menu. Each new course was brought to us before we had even finished our previous drink (not even the aperitif). For dessert, my partner chose the mille-feuille because he loves them, but the dessert presented was nothing like a mille-feuille. The bread was decent but not very high quality. The napkin and tablecloth had holes, though these are minor details. We plan to return sometime, but we think the €26 set menu would ultimately be just as good, considering the price. The terrace was pleasant and quiet.
