What customers say?

“ About as authentic as you will find anywhere in the old town, without the seaside prices. We had classic escargot with lots of baguette garlic and oil as well as pasta with mussels and a perfect bouillabaisse with all the accoutrements including aioli, croutons fromage and a bulb of raw garlic, clearly the real thing. We enjoyed our lunch very much. ”

“ Friendly restaurant in an alley. Comparing to the ones along the coast, this one was more casual and welcoming. We both ordered spaghetti grignotiere and one portion escargots for the table. The escargots were tender. The seasoning was amazing. Mussels and shrimps were very fresh. The tomato sauce of spaghetti was the highlight. ”

“ This restaurant is in an adorable alley full of restaurants, but it caught our eye because the woman who worked there (who I presume is the owner) had the most amazing energy! Super charming, warm, friendly and funny. The fantastic food doesn't hurt either! And bonus, they have a printed menu in English which is very helpful. The food just wowed us. We had Greek salad, warm goat cheese salad, steak, lasagna and seafood pasta. All delish but the standout was the goat cheese salad. Ohmygod!!!! ”

“ I visited for Sunday lunch and had a lovely & warm experience. I made a reservation but it seemed like there was enough seats for spontaneous walk-ins as well! I was served by a kind lady who was managing the service all by herself. Though she was very busy, she was still very attentive and made an effort to make me feel comfortable. Knowing there was a language barrier, she tried her best to tell me about the different dishes and how best to eat them :-) I had escargots (absolutely YUMMY!!), bouillabaisse (largeee portion) and Evian water. The escargots were really so lovely and I contemplated ordering a second serving but I also didn’t want a food coma there was also a special set meal that day which included main, side and a drink at 21eu. I definitely recommend all to visit! ”

“ Soo delicious! Loved the ambience and the service was great! 4 stars out of 5, just because I wished my seafood pasta was a bit more "al dente" ”

“ Escargot and bouillabaisse was good, although needed a slight bit of salt. The salmon pie was great. Overall really tasty & hit the spot. ”
