We had the full dinner for two which included two glasses of champagne, two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts, a bottle of wine and coffee. Each course was delicious, but we particularly enjoyed the avocado and bacon app, the duck, and the house dessert (sponge cake with pears, caramel sauce and whipped cream). The owner took individual attention to each table making everyone feel like welcome guests . His wine recommendation was spot on! I highly recommend dining at this restaurant.

Came across this lovely restaurant by chance . So much ‘theatre’ in presentation and gorgeous food . We thought it looked a little more ‘premium’ than other restaurants around the area with a 3 course menu @ €49. Incredibly the menu included a champagne cocktail , 3 courses and a bottle of wine. Staff are wonderful , fun and engaging. They spoke Amazing English and we laughed and joked with them . Lovely food - great experience . Highly recommended .

A beautifully romantic ambiance. Friendly service. The beef starter was excellent. The fish was good but little dry. The chicken was little milld and dry. The red wine was delicious and smooth.

We were able to be seated without a reservation, but reservations are probably a good idea because the restaurant filled up. This is place for special occasions with your significant other. The host and hostess were both warm and inviting, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere enchanting. For us this was more than a meal; it was an experience.
