We found this gem on the internet and called to book in our best franglais. The staff upon arrival were friendly and welcoming and spoke a little English along with our efforts to speak French. We explained our dietary needs and they understood and guided us through the menu with this in mind. The food was excellent and the wine list extensive with plenty local wines at a reasonable price. Not a cheap night out but great value for the quality delivered. We would recommend. A big thank you to the charming hostess who served us and kept us well looked after with a little English and French mixed in. Lovely location along the river by the marina too.

A small but varied menu at prices which we thought was a mistake. €69 for a five course superb menu and wines also at reasonable price. The restaurant sits on the side of the Sôane and is idylic. we were very pleasantly surprised by everything and recommend it to anybody. service is fast and good.

Since our last visit in 2018 the original owners have retired and passed the restaurant on to their family. We were delighted to find that it was as excellent as before. The setting, beside the Saone is idyllic and we were escorted to our well-spaced table by a very pleasant waiter. It was difficult to choose from the menu, because all the dishes sounded so inviting. We enjoyed a delicious starter of crab and lobster, followed by beautifully presented main courses of lamb and duck. Desserts were equally tasty and we enjoyed some quality local wines, chosen from a comprehensive list. Our short walk back along the riverbank to our hotel concluded a perfect start to our holiday.
