    Those guys from Royan snatched Laurence and Philippe from us! They were doing so well in Toulouse... What a shame, what a loss. Enjoy their generosity while you can, it's not something you see every day!

    A truly wonderful discovery, recommended to us, and one I wholeheartedly recommend! A very warm welcome; the owner took the time to explain the menu in detail. It was difficult to choose, as each dish was so enticing, practically begging to be tasted! And when the dish arrived, presented with such poetic flair, digging in felt like a crime! And the flavors… simply divine! I overheard a customer marveling at watching the chefs prepare the dishes right before their eyes… a huge thank you for this culinary journey!

    Choice of wine? Only small plates usually cold since there is no extraction for the kitchen. This implies a strong and unpleasant smell and vaporization coming from the tiny kitchen open to the room...
