Description




Menus follow strictly enforced meal schedules for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. The kitchen focuses on traditional preparations, turning out classics like Dover sole, pain perdu, and a highly praised croque madame. The room's layout offers enough distance between tables to comfortably accommodate casual meetings, though you should expect to wait a bit for food and drinks to arrive. While dining here comes at a higher price point, the professional greeting at the door sets a polished tone.
