Having updated the interior entirely, the atmosphere is quaint and warm. Check out he pictures I posted! The menu changes daily keeping things interesting and everything except for the bread is made in house. Just FYI, her bread choice is delicious and likes to keep it fresh. The food was simple but great, offering a combination menu for entrees, mains and desserts. You can put together your own two or three course meal. I opted for the "bavette", a thin steak which was drenched in garlic sauce... Loved the garlic sauce!

Je passe au français pour les locaux. Ce petit restaurant est prêt à tout pour vous offrir un service personnel. Pour une soirée privée de groupe, n'hésitez pas à leur demander de vous préparer un menu qui vous plairas a un prix qui convient à tout le monde. L'espace en haut est parfait pour une quarantaine de personne mais seras aussi sympa pour de plus petits groupes.
