Très belle surprise. La décoration un peu surannée fait hésiter mais il ne faut pas! La cuisine est aussi bonne que généreuse. Et le prix raisonnable!

Nous sommes venu à 2 et nous avons adoré les repas qui sont généreux et peu chers comparé aux alentours. La serveuse était très gentille. Il y avait personne dans le restaurant c’est dommage car nous avons été très bien accueilli et passé une bonne soirée
