    Must be one top Restaurants in the world. Have been to Michelin stars all over Europe and USA and this stood out above just about all. The service is elegant and efficient, the room is cozy and beautiful, wine list excellent. Food is gorgeous but tastes excellent as well, then buerre blanc on the potato dish, is the best sauce I’ve ever had, magical.

    Food and service was as expected from a 3* Michelin restaurant. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have experienced many 2-3* restaurants around the world and found that this experience lacked that special / exciting wow factor.
