    Excellent food in a very cosy atmosphere, enhanced by the warm presence of a hearth at the centre of the room and many beautiful paintings on the walls. The service is impeccable, and the selection of wines is great. I personally recommend the chicken liver with foie gras as a starter, followed by the rabbit and tarragon pie. An outstanding choice, a bit outside of the eventful city centre for either a business meal or a quiet meeting with friends.

    Food excellent. Cosy setting. Only slight critique was that our waitress was a little grumpy. Everyone else was very friendly. Definitely recommend.

    Delicious seasonal food cooked well without unnecessary fancy nonsense. Service is warm and professional. Smart but not stiffling or up itself.
