We'd a lovely French lunch which was very tasty and great value for the city centre. The service was exceptional!

Top notch food. Affordable lunch menu (for Edinburgh at least). Lovely women serving. Sea bass was excellent. Really petite and tidy interior.

Popped in for an impromptu lunch! Tried in the past to get a table but it’s always been fully booked. We got lucky this time and oh my what a little gem this place is! We’ve already booked for lunch for next week! Definitely recommend. Everything about it was simply amazing and definitely recommend the toffee pudding for dessert!
