Plats copieux et bien cuisinés. notre serveur était très sympathique et très pro. nous avons passé une excellente soirée sur cette terrasse légèrement à l’écart de toutes ces terrasses sur le cour salaya.

Une adresse à ne pas manquer ! Les pâtes aux citrons confits avec tartare de daurade, parmesan, huile des pouilles et noisettes grillées … Un délice ! Sans oublier le service plus que parfait . Merci Jean-Philippe, Mégane et Nico le Rital 💛
