Gorgeous venue, especially on a sunny day as you can sit out under the vine canopy & enjoy being among the truffiere. The service is impeccable; friendly, knowledgeable staff who know their product. The food is to die for, even if you are not a truffle fiend, and you definitely will not walk out hungry. Lots of local beer & wine to choose from too. All up, a wonderful experience.
