Flavor of the quiche Lorraine was great, but the crust was awful. Looked like it had been baked in a big pan, and had a soggy rubbery crust on the bottom of a rectangular portion of quiche. Disappointing for a French restaurant.

Literally THE BEST FOOD I have ever had! Everything is phenomenal! The service is incredible and the owner is SO wonderful! Just Magic!

Vegetarian options: Amazing ratatouille

Kid-friendliness: Kind to kids
June 2023
This restaurant serves delicious French cuisine without the pretentiousness of most French restaurants. Laurent, the owner/chef is a delightful host and the Steak-Fries were out of this world. The Vin de Table (house wine) was excellent and the desserts we chose: Crème Brulée and the Crèpe tatin were exactly as they should be. The moule marinière with fries is authentic and as served in Belgium. All in all a wonderful eating experience without spending too much money.
