We tried to go here on a Friday night, but were too late with reserving and the place was full all evening. Thats a good sign! - so we asked to reserve for lunch on a Saturday before leaving Metz! We were happy we did. We had the Filet Angus with roasted vegetables, which were very impressive! Could not exactly tell what they were but they were all delicious.

I had the opportunity to try this restaurant with my family this month. The food was excellent, too bad the organisation/service wasn't. Even if they were very nice, all the waiters were dealing with our table and mistakes were made... I would recommend, maybe it was just this day!

Also his knowledge about accompanying wines was great.

When a passerby in the street urges you to make a reservation at a restaurant where you are examining the menu in the early morning, you know you are on to something. When the restaurant is fully booked but the chef makes an accommodation to squeeze you in for the first dinner seating, you are already looking forward to dinner many hours later. Our group was beautifully accommodated to include a strict vegetarian. In a nouvelle style, but still fully satisfying manner of cooking, all of our choices on the menu were of a high quality and tasty. The restaurant's design is modern and spare but not stark. Our server was professional and courteous. Taking into account the superb meal, I thought my dinner was a good value.

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!

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.

We went dinner on a Friday night at 7:15pm at the opening of the restaurant. We had a very nice welcome! The dinning room is modern, very nice and spacious. There are enough space between the tables to feel comfortable. Everything was perfect, the personnel was friendly and very efficient. The waiting time between each meal is fine, not too fast, not too slow. The food was excellent and last but not last, the bill was very reasonnable.

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.

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 ;-)
