Beautiful, delicious, and affordable, that’s the restaurant’s motto.

My main: pork ribs glazed with honey and lemon, creamy mashed potatoes. That was really excellent too! In total, we payed €41.40 each, a really good value considering the quality of the meal and the wonderfully decorated restaurant.”

Possibly the best starter I’ve ever had in a bouillon!”
