Une belle découverte à Angoulême ! La carte simple, courte semblait appétissante… réservation faite pour dîner ce ne fut qu’un régal et un service parfait ! Je recommande pour la qualité et la fraîcheur de cette carte ! Le vin d’Anjou blanc est un régal… la décoration est authentique comme ce lieu rare. Merci

Wow. Utterly fabulous meal with friendly, lovely service. All three courses were equally fantastic - great flavours, textures and presentation of the food. Highly recommended

Très bon restaurant sur Angoulême. C'est tout petit donc il vaut mieux réserver. De l'entrée au dessert tout était parfait. Prix très corrects

Found this small, 22 seat, intimate restaurant. There is 1 person in the kitchen and 1 front of house, this means that the service is paced to allow the chef to produce his absolutely delicious food. We were treated like friends, the service was caring and relaxed, wine recommendation was perfect. The menu is short and based on available local produce, and changes weekly, there are 2 options for entrees, mains and desert. With an extra vegetarian main and a cheese board. We were pleased to be able to eat there 2 nights running......the food was THAT GOOD. Highly recommended and thanks.

Wahooo! Très belle découverte !!! Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais tester cette adresse, je n'ai pas été déçue ! Un vrai délice de l'entrée au dessert ! Équipe fort sympathique ! Je recommande +++ Il faut réserver pour être sur d'avoir 1 table.

Un plaisir gustatif indéniable, nous avons passé un excellent dîner, aux saveurs recherchées. Le serveur était très accueillant et nous a expliqué avec joie tout le menu proposé. Le seul petit défaut a été l'attente, nous avons passé 2h30 dans le restaurant pour un plat et un dessert (néanmoins, le serveur s'est excusé pour l'attente car ils venaient tout juste de changer la carte et cela demandait un temps d'adaptation, je vous conseillerais donc de venir manger plutôt en fin de semaine). Je vous conseille fortement de venir faire voyager vos papilles dans ce restaurant ! (Je vous conseille aussi de réserver une table car l'espace est assez petit et le nombre de tables limitées)
