During our first visit, we came without a reservation for lunch because my partner is gluten intolerant and they have adapted cuisine. We arrive, a very friendly waitress offers to seat us upstairs and will take care of us for almost the entire meal. We order a truffle risotto as well as the poultry ballotine also accompanied by Risotto. I also take this opportunity to ask the question if it is possible to make sweet pancakes with buckwheat flour (gluten free) and we are confirmed that yes, it is a recurring request, no problem. The dishes arrive but unfortunately the risottos are almost raw and therefore inedible. We therefore reported it to our friendly waitress who quickly brought the dishes back to the kitchen and came back to confirm that she had tasted it and indeed, it was much more than al dente. We joke about it, it happens, no worries. We waited a bit and were served again. Both dishes were very good this time, nothing to add. We therefore order a buckwheat crepe for dessert, once again specifying the gluten allergy. We receive our dessert from another waiter and I notice (luckily for them, before tasting) that the color is too light to be buckwheat. So I call the waiter to ask the question, he is not sure and goes to our first waitress who apologizes, she forgot to specify this in the kitchen. How to put it... we 're trying to put things into perspective but it could have been catastrophic. We then eat the pancake, very good, and ask for a coffee and the bill. Not a single commercial gesture, not even on coffee... it 's not obligatory but it would have been the least we could do... But it was good, so we come out saying that it 's the weekend, relax. So we 're enjoying the experience this weekend. We arrive again to eat without a reservation, but it 's not crowded at all, the waiter tells us that we can go up and sit down (alone). After 15 minutes of waiting, we still saw no one approach our table while we saw the waiter who brought us in snacking downstairs between 2 coffees for the customers. We tell ourselves that he has forgotten and my companion approaches the railing to kindly wave to him. His only answer?

Always excellent service, the staff is super nice, smiling and very responsive The dishes are divinely good, plus they offer the possibility of adapting the dishes to dairy and gluten intolerances! I highly recommend this place

I had to ask explicitly whether the broth contained gluten in rice; the answer of the waitress was yes it gluten-free I had to ask her to check with the kitchen, it is not gluten-free... I would not recommend it because it is very difficult as they seem to be aware of the subject.

Thank you very much, we had a great time read more Thank you very much, we had a great time
