5 À lovely setting, good food and excellent service.
5 delicious food. the salad came with a delicious dressing, the main course was also really good and the presentation is 10/10. for dessert i can really recommend the chocolate waffles & dome au chocolat praliné, incredibly good. also very kind & fast service! (:
5 This place was really great. We had the main plate, dessert and a coffee. You will not want to miss this place. It’s worth it.
5 A great place, serving normal French food. The Charolais steak that I had, was the best that I have had in France. Also tried Marc de Bourgogne, a new one on me! The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Unfortunately these fine traditional restaurants are becoming rarer in France.
5 The food is great! Our waiter was so patient, as we arrived 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and we had a party of 8, but they made us all dinners. We returned multiple times for lunch as well. Ice cream is incredible.
4 Really nice place and very friendly staff, their tiramisu was great. Was quite sad that they no longer had it on the menu last time we went there. Would have given them 5* if it wasn't for the fact they don't have any highchairs for young children but that seems to be the case with most places in Cluny.
5 A very enjoyable meal - snails and foie gras, followed by a very enjoyable burger with a good side salad. I was slightly disappointed by my Café Gourmande - nothing particularly special on it - but my OH enjoyed his dessert. The beer was great & the proprietor friendly and efficient. A three course meal, for two, with a beer each was 75€. Not cheap, but we didn't go for the cheapest options. You could eat well for much less.
5 Yes definitely worth a visit the food , staff and premises are excellent . Great food served by charming people in a lovely quiet relaxed setting . Definitely I’ll be here again
