The salmon salami was fabulous, but the lamb chop was too salty to my like. The ingredients were fresh and presentation all fine. The servers/owners were really friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings.

Ate the cheese plate and the beef burger. Both were very good. Prices are reasonable at 7 and 10 EUR respectively. read more Ate the cheese plate and the beef burger. Both were very good. Prices are reasonable at 7 and 10 EUR respectively.

"Papilles" only tickled, and waiting to be overwhelmed.

We had the lounge table and chairs just inside with an open door to the fresh air outside. Great food and wine. Very friendly service. Try the french toast for breakfast! Cheers.
