Our local friends took us here and we were pleasantly surprised. It's an unexpected large restaurant for this small village, with plenty of space to hang our coats and a good spacing between the tables. We got a nice big round table, just perfect for our group of 6 people. My hubby had the onion soup as an appetizer; he said it was great, but he would have liked the cheese to be melted into the soup; instead the cheese was on top of a piece of bread, which made it hard to eat. But otherwise, it was a great starter. I started off with a venison carpaccio, perfectly accompanied by mushrooms, apples, and softly seared onion. My main dish was equally perfect, duck breast that was perfectly cooked and moist. Both my dishes were delicious; it is very hard to cook duck breast right and not too dry, but this restaurant has nailed it down! The ribs were perfect as well; the meat fell right off the bone, and this dish came with a three different sauces. All main dishes came with a cute little wooden board with small bowls filled with veggies, fries, and potatoes. The creme brulee was awesome; a big portion with a perfect layer of crispy caramel. Service was friendly and prompt, and (so rare these days! the music was not too loud, so we could not only enjoy the food, but have a nice conversation as well. In short, definitely a place we will remember fondly; hopefully life will take us back to this cute town and especially to this restaurant.

Initially the evening went well. Nice place at the window, good service nice location. Food was just not very much compared to the price that had to be paid. When only consuming a main course, I am not used to going out hungry, because this is not a culinary restaurant where you can expect that. We had 2 x sole that are listed for 26.50 both on the map and on the internet. 1 tongue was bitter because the bile was not properly removed from the fish. And at the end of the evening we were able to pay 37.50 euros per person for the sole because it apparently went at the daily price. It would have been more chic if the service had indicated in advance that it was a daily price and to state the price. At the end of the evening a bitter aftertaste was left from both the taste of the fish and the absurdly high unexpected daily price. So definitely not worth repeating for us.

Very cozy restaurant and friendly service. Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
