Quite a nice place, overall. The acoustic of the place is not ideal: we struggled to hear each other although the place was far from busy.
The dishes were quite small. The 🐟 was quite tasty. The Italian wine was great. The plum cake was unexpected: not exactly bad but too homemade for the image this place delivers.
Chance encounter to this brasserie. Lovely food and varied menu with hard to find ingredients (rabbit/ swordfish). Cooked excellently with technique and passion, uncompromising in quality and fair prices.
I have had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant on two occasions, and during my last visit, I noticed that it was no longer recommended by Michelin. However, it became apparent that there have been significant improvements since my previous visit.
Our meal consisted of belgnet, ravioli, veal, sea trout, lamb, guinea fowl, and two vegetarian sides. The starters and main dishes were all exceptionally delicious. However, the two vegetarian sides left much to be desired and did not seem to justify their cost of £7 each. The final subtotal for our bill came to £116, which I found to be quite reasonable.
One notable aspect that could be improved is the service. It appeared that only two waitresses were managing the entire restaurant, and although they put forth considerable effort, the service was somewhat lacking. This might be alleviated by having additional staff on hand.
It was also a bit disappointing to learn that seating in the fancy window-side area is not available on a first-come-first-served basis; instead, it must be reserved in advance.
Lastly, it was disheartening to discover that the restaurant no longer serves rabbit meat, which was once a signature dish. This change was quite surprising and left me somewhat dismayed.
