  We stopped here for a dinner and it was fabulous. It was a busy August evening but the staff quickly reset a table for us outside and service was fast. We ordered the tartar and asked for a recommendation for both white and red wine. Both were fantastic, including the meal. Attentive, speed and high quality.

  Smoking is not prohibited in the dining area. And a few people smoke carelessly, ignoring the health of other diners. Ultimately, it's the fault of the restaurant. A restaurant that allow smoking in dining area shows they don't care about their customers' health. According to the World Health Organization, secondhand smoke not only increases the risk of lung cancer by 20% to 30%, but multiple studies have also shown it can increase the likelihood of conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). So, there's a big question mark over the healthiness of the food provided by this restaurant. Three stars is already the highest rating for a restaurant that doesn't care about the health of its customers. 🥩Homemade Duck and Goose Liver: This dish has a relatively high duck liver content, and it comes with a noticeable gamey taste. You might find it quite enough after just a few bites. 🥩Chanterelle Mushroom and Egg Casserole: That's the translation provided by the Google translate. In reality, it tastes like mushroom soup made from a powdered mix you'd find in a supermarket. The slight twist is the inclusion of a half boiled egg. Surprisingly, the textures complement each other well. 🥩Duck Confit: This is a traditional French dish. "Confit" is a traditional method from the south of France for preserving meat in the days before refrigeration. The duck leg here is cooked just right, with the gaminess of the duck expertly removed. The roasted potatoes and garlic are a perfect complement. 🥩Trout: The app translates it as "trout," but it's actually salmon. It's served with a basil cream sauce that has a pronounced flavor, reflecting a local seasoning style. The side dishes are well-prepared. This restaurant also serves a pre-meal cold appetizer. If it weren't for the smoking, this place could easily get a 5-star rating. One of the diners, who was with a baby, left directly upon discovering there was no non-smoking area.

  Wanted an early dinner and owner told us they start service at 6.00. We had a drink elsewhere and returned at 5.30 thinking we would have a glass of wine before dinner at 6.00. Owner then told us service started at 6.45 because ' we need a break too'. We stayed and they took our order at 6.50. Our entree of pate en croute was ok. Our mains of confit duck with ceps were very average. Overcooked duck, a big pile of soggy potato slices with garlic, some cooked garlic pureed, a couple of carrot slices and a slice of zucchini and a tablespoon of cooked mushroom puree (presumably ceps). We ordered a side of pomme frites - what a soggy mess - looked like yesterday's fries reheated. Very ordinary. The staff were run off their feet. Also whilst we were told by the proprietor that he doesn't take bookings - he and the waitress both asked every customer if they had made a booking. Not sure what that was about. Do yourself a favour skip this restaurant.
