The food was tasty and it is quite clear that the products used are of good quality. We had the plat du jour starter and main. The starter was a poultry croquette and the main a shrimp risotto. The starter was delicious, however 9 CHF for one small croquette is frankly overpriced. Important to note that I am not one to shy away from pricey restaurants but even by my standards this was a bit of a stretch, especially for a lunch on a weekday. The risotto was lovely and the portion was just right. We also had a café gourmand to finish on a sweet tooth and were very satisfied with the desserts, especially the riz au lait. The chocolate mousse was a tad thick in texture and slightly too bitter for our taste. To sum up, the food was very nice. The service was mainly friendly, although a tad slow. My only comment, which quite frankly shocked me was when we arrived and I said we had a reservation for 2 people at 12:30 and I was told very abruptly on an unfriendly tone "a name would be useful", thus why I only put 3 stars for the service.

Very nice experience. Good food, great atmosphere and service. Maybe a bit slow for a lunch break, but still manageable. Highly recommended and will come back again.

Nice ambience and really excellent service but the food was not memorable. Portions were enormous though .. in fact the starter was oversized. All in all a tad expensive too.

Very good restaurant and friendly service. Tables are well spaced and nicely arranged. The vegetarian menu is, however, quite limited: there is basically only one choice in the menu of the main dishes.

Such a friendly welcome from the staff and attentive service, even remembering our preferences from a previous visit over 1 year ago, impressive! The food is always delicious with a lot of variety. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’d passed by many times and thought it must be a cafe. I had no idea it was a restaurant until finding it on this app. There is underground parking just past the restaurant which is really convenient . The food was delicious, The mise en bouche fish soup was mouth watering. We had entrecôte which was seasoned to perfection, it was so tender that we didn’t need a steak knife. There was a very welcome addition of a few steamed vegetables which were surprisingly tasty. The fondant au chocolate with mango sorbet was heavenly! Our waitress was warm and friendly and really made us feel at home. We loved the decor. Would definitely recommend, and would certainly go back. A really enjoyable evening.

The entrance was unassuming, could use some tall plants for outdoor dining privacy as it is next to a main road and tram stop. Luckily, we were seated inside as it was about to rain. The food was Absolutely Delicious, great atmosphere inside, friendly service...... everything I wanted in a dinner out. Would definitely recommend
