    Brilliant new find in CT CBD. Fresh and fabulously French Cafe style interior, flavourful food - delicious and authentic Parisian plates full, and a wonderful Winter Set Menu. Reasonably priced too.

    The food wasn’t good at all. Our food took very long to come out. Wasn’t the greatest experience at all. Would not recommend to anyone

    A beautiful restaurant, the Wes Anderson theme runs through the decor, menu and ambiance! Cute and quirky! Fantastic selection of wines, delicious cocktails and food. Our waiter Neville was attentive, informative and friendly! Thank you for making our experience that much better!
