This new restaurant (it was open 3 months ago) is a very interesting place! The chef wants to create such an emotion that you will want to talk to him! And please do it, he will provide you with many details and explain some feeling that you may have with his meals!! The girl in the room is very good advice and she gets to give you so much detail on the dishes that you will want everything ... The decorations are also very nice: many stuff have been found in flee market! So nice...
