"Lovely place near the Port. Get there early if you haven't made a reservation. They provide blankets if cool, as it was last night. 16.50€ Bistro menu was great value for 3 courses. I had Charcuterie, Duck then cheese to finish. Wine by the glass was good also. Only mark down, was slowish service, but the place was rammed!!"

"Fantastic place - we were lucky to get a table as hadn't booked. Whilst we were eating people were queuing to get in - not surprising as it's an amazing place. Really friendly staff who work incredibly hard - very very busy! Between us we had oysters, octopus, magret de canard, steak, and desserts. Could not fault any of it - beautiful quality, perfectly cooked, amazing presentation. Delicious! We immediately booked our return visit."
