Came for lunch after reading all the reviews on Trip Advisor and totally happy with this choice. Very cosy, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent food ! Run by two ladies - one is Chef and one runs the restaurant. Enjoyed our small talk...Yes to women power! :)

This was almost certainly the worst meal I've ever eaten in France...and I've been visiting the country for at least 15 years!The starter, (so called) foie gras, was in reality a cold slab of country pate. The main a double patty burger was extremely overcooked, and whoever came up with the brainwave of replacing a bread bun with potato rosti has obviously gone mad. To be honest, potato rosti may have been ok...but this wasn't rosti, it was slabs of heavy, dry, processed potato cake that obviously came out of a packet. By the time chips, (frites) were added to the plate I'd eaten enough potato to last all week.The wine and beers were reasonable, both price and quality and the 'only' reason I haven't given this a terrible (1 green circle) mark is because the Caramel Lovers Dessert (check the website) was excellent and saved the day.One worrying trend. This restaurant (whilst out of town on a retail/industrial estate) was packed with French diner's. In the past we've always admired the French for their class and discerning taste. In recent years we've noticed that the Gallic waistlines are beginning to catch up with their British (and American) counterparts. I've often wondered why...I wonder no more. If they are now embracing junk food like this the answer is obvious!Bonjour à vous, Nous sommes exactement dans la culture française sur le concept de notre établissement, des pommes de terres françaises, du fromages français, des ingrédients simples. Pour votre foie gras nous sommes désolés mais nous sommes en Lorraine qui n'est pas connue pour ce produit, donc nous sommes obligés de l'acheter. Pour les röstis sur les burger, outre le fait que c'est préciser sur le menu que ce sont des röstis et non du pain, nous avons voulu marquer notre différence et tout en suivant notre concept de pomme de terre et donc le röstis de pomme de terre s'est imposé comme une évidence et est plébiscité par notre clientèle française et d'ailleurs nous en avons mis 8 sortes différents sur notre carte hiver.Bien à vous et bonne vacances dans notre beau pays ;-)

We had a nice lunch here on a rainy day. This place has a very cosy atmosphere. You can see the kitchen in the back and the staff is very friendly and efficient. The menu options allow you to taste different things at a very reasonable price. The arrancini was delicious and the simplicity of the pasta stays true to Italy.

No 1 restaurant in Metz? Really!? It just shows how, even in France, TA reviewers can get it badly wrong.I should have known, of course, that a pizza called Andre, aaah! was not going to be authentically Italian, but I was not quite prepared for the way in which the odd mix of toppings (including three very small mussels in their shells) coalesced into an off-putting sludge when it hit the hot dough. I could not bring myself to finish it - even though I am a World War II baby trained to eat whatever is on my plate. The place itself lacked anything resembling comfort or charm; and the only redeeming feature was the cheap but good carafe of wine.

We read numerous reviews to pick the best restaurant in Metz to celebrate a special birthday. We picked this one based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised.The food is extremely delicious, with some research on it. The name tells all. The restaurant is small, probably 10 tables max, white tablecloth, nice, relaxing, and elegant decoration on the table and in the restaurant. It's very quiet, we went during the week at lunch time on a Tuesday, there were a mix of family and business lunches and the restaurant was almost full but not noisy at all.The price is very good for the quality of the food served. We had the 4 courses: starter, meat dish, fish dish, and dessert, excellent. We had the bouillabaisse which is not your usual bouillabaisse, it's fine and succulent. We had the duck dish which was cooked to perfection, and the fish dish too. The temperature of the food was perfect. The dessert was very tasty. Portions are good.Kids are welcome. They had a choice of an adult dish in a smaller portion and they loved it. Our kids asked for ice cream for dessert, which was served with fruits on the top and well decorated. They serve a pre-starter (mise en bouche) and little sweets with the coffee.The service is very good, our waitress was very quiet we could hardly hear what she was saying but it was good as we couldn't hear her when she was serving other tables. We met the owner and he is very nice too.We were there for a special occasion, we asked for a menu without price printed and they printed individual and personalized menus! what a nice surprise, well done and thank you! They put a sparkling candle on the dessert too.Our only down comment would be we waited a long time between the drinks and the pre-starter and I think they were waiting for us to finish our drink first before starting the service so probably a miscommunication. Once they started the service, the speed between dishes was perfect.We highly recommended this restaurant to our family and friends and will continue to do so. We'll come back again as soon as we can.There is a parking next to it which is convenient.I recommend to book it in advance, we booked it 1 month ahead of time.

I bumped into one of the restaurant owners at the Bon Poison brewery tap and I discovered that if I arrived early I could have the only unreserved table that evening. I'm really pleased that I did.The proprietors pride themselves on using local produce and offering local wines. The restaurant has an open plan layout, so diners can see all that is going on in the kitchen.For starters, I had the sushimi trout which was beautifully flavoured, followed by a vegetable risotto which featured fresh mushrooms topped with wonderful asparagus. I think it's the most tasty risotto I've ever had.I happened to be there by myself, but it would suit any occasion, business or pleasure.A wonderful find!

If you happen to be near here this is a restaurant used by locals. The pizzas looked very tempting but we had duck in a plum sauce which was almost the best ever, and a very good salad. We nearly didn't go inside as pizzas and France don't, in our view, go together. However, with the prospect of not eating at all that evening or trying it out, we fell in. It is very homely and is run by an Italian family.It was extremely busy and we were fortunate that a table had been reserved for us by our B&B hosts. We saw enough of Metz to come to the conclusion that we probably wouldn't pass that way again. But you never know.

Micro brewery and offered local/regional dishes. Liked it a lot, generous portions, very good beer. As they sell bottled beer from their production I took 6 bottles of really good brew home!

A very unassuming looking restaurant which surprised us with the quality of the food it serves. My husband and I both had the 3 course menu at â¬27.50. Lovely parma ham and melon starter, folllowed by a melt in your mouth piece of Angus beef for my husband and a delicious pasta and salmon dish for me. For pudding we opted for the tiramisu with strawberries. Bottle of Cotes du Rhone at â¬18 was not bad. Excellent service. The presentation of the food is very 70's but you can't fault the quality!
