Pop in alone end of last week to "feel" once again their Risotto with red shrimps with paella foam (love the name in french - et son ecume au jus de pallea) and nice surprise: business lunch meniu - 39 ron, coffee included.

We had duck foie gras, truffles and quince jam with ginger, caramelized red tuna sashimi, Parmentier salad with king crab, St. Jacques scallops with black truffles and tender pork belly, cack of lamb in green crust, paccheri filled with artichokes, confit of tomatoes and pine kernels, the planet of chocolate, crème brûlée with orange flavor and candied kumquats and the broken heart of Ispahan. The red wine was also very good - Principesa Margareta 2009 edition. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The music is totally chaotic.All in all a terribly poor experience, to be avoided.....
