   This was a great place in the past. Unfortunately this time, and having not been for a while, a friend and I felt let down, especially since shortly after leaving the restaurant we both did not feel very well having ordered completely different dishes. Nothing serious it seems, but very unpleasant. The meal would have been expensive without this. With it, I am afraid it completely destroyed the experience.

   Attractive indoor setting (it was cold so terrace not feasible) but chairs not as comfy as they should be and they are too low. Some reupholstering and refreshed furniture needed (these have been present for many years). Food was OK - not bad but not special either and nowhere near as good as in the past. The wines by the glass were below par (we had 3 between us) - need much better choosing!

   The quality of the food was average at best...the souffle heavy and the duck undercooked and the risotto almost raw...very disappointing especially at these prices

   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.

   Nice room service and food, but too many noisy, entitled American diners spoil the atmosphere.
