"In this location, surrounded as it is with large restaurants spilling out onto the pavement with their me-too menus of les pizzas and pâtes and overly familiar sounding meals, it is most unexpected to find a bespoke and personal restaurant offering a fine selection of dishes cooked with care. The menu, described appropriately as the 'carte du moment' presents a mercifully small number of seasonal and therefore changing entrées, plats and desserts. However, it is still hard to choose. Each one is enticing, interesting and original with the promise of flavours, combinations of ingredients and textures, without tricks and unnecessary embellishment. For a large number, a selection of all the entrées as share dishes makes a lot of sense. Everyone gets a taste of something and the difficulty of having to choose is avoided. For the plats, a single selection is best with pork, duck, tuna and salmon along with risotto as options on the night we were there. A fine burger also available is perhaps a concession to the location and, actually, a very fine dish. Four desserts are offered with each one tempting and beautifully prepared. Another selection for the table is highly recommended. The wine list is adequate and the ambiance works for lone dining as well as for a larger and more raucous group. The service is smiling and efficient as well as courteous. This is a place to make a favourite. The risk to this reviewer is that it will become deservedly highly popular and impossible for last minute bookings."

"and yes, there is a distortion between the promise of a high place of the ancient anti-best gastronomy and the ralit of the place and the plaque. the distortion between tariff practices the quality and size of service portions, the distortion between service quality and beautification announces. ds l arrive we are tons of extriggering nol dco and these characters inflatable a small kitchs and worthy of a district brewery we thought we were going in a gastro but good. What counts these glasses. we opt for the dcouvert menu of euros in services after this one is explained to us by the waitress who runs a bit everywhere. When we had a smoked salmon micro-verrin served us or a few minutes later! It was a fact that he was a lover what would have had the mrite to be explained by the waitress because we thought it was the first dish. The foie gras then arrived, it's like lobsters, but not what to jump to the ceiling, no explosion in the mouth. The chapon was the main dish, he was a good tail, and there were pieces that could not be cut! we read well on the signal but it is not upset nobody leaves us), no excuses any dxplication. It's probably like we're becoming a great place of gastronomy! the top of the dessert bait, the lost bread of the cheek apple a supplement of euros, for a medium joseph, ceases extrmously disappointing when we want to be happy the evening of its ny will no longer return."

"What a great surprise. We needed to find breakfast as we were staying in an apartment near the beach. Instead of turning left towards all the major more popular and touristy cafes we decided to turn right.Lucky! The croissants and pains au chocolat were the best we had in France (during our 3 weeks there). They are made fresh as you order them and they were perfect. The right blend of buttery and flaky and delicious. :) The chocolate in the pastries was very generous and very good quality. Yum.I asked them how long they had been open and it had only been a week. We went back every day for great coffee, tea, hot chocolate. My sister had a bubble tea. But what we returned for every day were the coffees and hot drinks and the viennoiserie (pastries).This place is bright, clean, (the toilet is very clean too!) and the service is very lovely. Don't be fooled by the appearance (which is stark white with turquoise accents). These people deserve your business, really! In just a week of business they had already won many regular local customers... I take that as a great sign.We will definitely go back next year when we visit France again. Excellent value. The best croissants! And right across from the beach too.PS: I didn't try the rest of their fare which includes other breakfast choices as well as sandwiches, sushi and other meals but would if I were spending the day on the beach or around Juan."
