"My hubby, daughter and I have just returned from the gastronomic experience of a lifetime! The three of us opted for the main course and dessert option, but Antonia brought us creamed anchovies and chickpea tapenade (for our veggie daughter, who so far had found eating in France a bit of a challenge) to whet our appetites for the amazing culinary delights that were about to come our way. This surprise on-the-house hors d'oeuvre was the start of an absolutely exquisite dining experience and in keeping with the standard of cuisine we were about to be served. I had the duck breast in raspberry confit, a dish I'd eaten in a top of the range French restaurant in London a couple of years ago, which up until this evening I had rated as outstanding - however, Russell, tonight I concede defeat, you've surpassed all my previous experiences! The steak and the veggie option were also of the same high standard as were the desserts. Who remembers rhubarb crumble from school? Bring your school cooks to see how rhubarb should be prepared - made into the smoothest of purees and served on top of a cheesecake, lovingly garnished with a sprig of fresh mint and beautifully served in a glass tumbler. And of course, culinary fayre can only truly be enjoyed if it comes with passion, warmth and a huge welcome. Antonia scores top marks in this department - a lovely lady, totally bi-lingual and bi-cultural, who has got the anglo-franco mix absolutely spot on."

"It all started so well, a warm welcome and a very original presentation of the restaurant concept. We adapt to your allergies and tastes. For a vegan like me, I thought I was gonna eat funny, so. So we say that I'm a vegan and there, the waitress' smile is erased instantly and she tells us not the vegans we're not doing. I was completely shocked. They boast that they adapt to all... except to vegans visibly. I always have a good surprise to say, but then if I'm allergic to lactose, how do I do it? His answer: bah you will have egg ... okay so if I am allergic to lactose and eggs and I do not eat fish or meat I do not have the right to eat. Yet there was a vegetarian dish on the map, it would be enough to adapt it, because they pride themselves on cooking fresh products and at the moment. I've never seen this before. 10 years of plantism I had never been said so dryly eyes in the eyes are not made for vegans, and even less in a restaurant that boasts to adapt to its customers. From the corner of the street to the Michelin star I never had a refusal like that, nor difficulty finding a small vegan thing to put me under the tooth. It was clear, not even a little salad, nothing proposed, just a No, then without soul condition or even pretending to be sorry. Fortunately, the other restaurants are not like that and we found a minute later in the same street to satisfy the 4 customers we had included a vegan and a vegetarian."
