It was a delightful discovery! The ambiance was warm and cozy, with an impressive buzz of people passing through, talking, and socializing—yet we still enjoyed our privacy at a corner table. The red wine was excellent, the beef tartare (always my go-to choice when available) was fresh and flavorful, the truffle fries were perfectly crispy without being overpowering, the beetroot salad was refreshing, and the mushroom pizza was simply delicious. I must also highlight the dessert and the tiramisu martini—they were the perfect start and finish to our meal. We had a fantastic time and will jump at the first opportunity to return. A special shoutout to the kind and attentive manager Michel and our wonderful server, Tina, whose attentiveness made the experience even more memorable.
