We got the scallops in risotto and the veal and we were blown away. Excellent cooking and wine selection.

Staff were friendly, drinks well made and it had a good atmosphere. If you get a table outside then you can watch passers by for hours too.

To access the toilets downstairs, one has to descend a tiny, ancient spiral stone staircase. There is a 'vault' bar downstairs which is lit up with coloured lighting - complete with disco ball!

After 1 hour of waiting with our drinks, do not too bad) we had to remind the maitre that we were still waiting, as he had misunderstood. He was helpful letting us order our food so we could eat straight away when we finally had a table, and after 10 mins we sat. The food came, deep fried fries with truffle oil were amazing and the pork belly tacos good also. And then our main came, which was the specialty of the day.... Not only it was cold, but our portion was so much smaller than the one the people next to us had, that this is what ruined the experience for us... Staff was friendly but a bit all over the place.. Maybe they are decent on a good day but wouldn't recommend:

The steak was tasteless and chewy! 25 euros for risotto with 4 prawns! Or gambas! The staff weren’t very customer friendly or welcoming!
