The restaurant has a nice location in Troyes and it was very busy when we dined. Ordering is challenging since their menus are in French. After some struggling with Google translate we were given an iPad with a menu in English - would have been nice to be given that right after we asked for an English menu.Our friends ordered a selection of rillettes and they were very good. With the bread provided these could be a meal in itself. I ordered a tartine which was very big and filling; it was good. I wanted to try an andouillette but the waiter was concerned I may not like it and talked me out of it.It seemed very busy and service could be better; we enjoyed their annexe better.

We discovered this jewel of a bistro while travelling to Troyes often for business. Its atmosphere is modern, with citrus colors, newspaper-covered columns and photos of different performing artists on the wall. The staff is friendly, attentive and even recognized us on our second visit, which is always appreciated. The menu is varied, with daily specials and a lunch formula for rapid dining. I recommend the accra dish to share while waiting for your meal. I have tried the steak, the carpaccio and the fish and all were delicious. I want to return to try the hamburger which looks like a popular choice from what I saw around me. Be sure to reserve as it is a poplular spot. They have entertainment in the evenings with live music of different sorts but we have only been there during lunch. Another excellent point: they are open on Mondays!

We were quickly seated outside and the waiter very patiently explained the dishes as the handwritten board was difficult to read. We opted for fillet steak and andouillete as almost every other dish seemed to include fois gras. It took a while. My fillet was in two conjoined pieces smothered in a mushroom sauce (not mentioned on the menu) and placed on top of a pile of new potatoeswhich had been parboiled and par roasted.The steak was tasty and cooked as requested. Would have preferred without sauce. The andouilette was dry also with same potatoes. All the other dishes we saw seemed to have the same potatoes. Strawberry melba and rasberry tart were ok. Wine extortionate price so we stuck to water. Lunchtime menu looked better value, so might be better then. Our hotel had recommended this restaurant, otherwise we might have tried somewhere else. Wish we had.

Jean-Paul Braga is the head chef and owner of this establishment . He is very kind and very friendly; he came out to greet me as I have a little bit of a name for fine food. I teach the culinary arts, and write about it quite often. Plus my cousin eats there often and he wanted to make certain that I could meet him.Braga makes every single dish extraordinarily beautiful as well as mouthwatering delicious. Garnishments are not independent of the entrée, the plat du jour, or the desserts. Everything is very well integrated and of course perfectly prepared!I fell in love with the quirky little shot glass that held a gazpacho of cucumbers topped with a carrot mousse with a feather of perfectly prepared pain grillee'. It was refreshing, and the distinction between the two textures of the dispatcher and the carrot nose was fabulous. Of course we were right in the middle of the Champagne region of France, the champagne was wonderful. But then if you have ever visited Troyes and the surrounding countryside , you would expect it to be just so. My cousin loved his steak blue, his copine adored her fish ; but no one could have enjoyed their plat more than me. I had roasted duck playing with fire gravy on top of black beans with beets. There was a delightful beat chip to garnish as well as nigella seeds placed on the decorative splashes of beet mousse on the rim of the bowl that contained my glorious food. It was not just beautiful; it was delicious. The wine was excellent naturally; and I was quite full. But then my cousin suggested dessert!It's amazing what someone can do with something as simple as the pitted prune !Prunes were macerated and then stewed in juice flavored with cognac and prepared with a lovely vanilla bean ice cream on top. Honestly I wasn't certain that I want wanted prunes. But Roland said that I would really enjoy it. He was so right; and it went down to likely with a nice size glass of eau de vie Poire. I did not ask him how he was able to drive; I just knew I could not.We dressed nicely for this restaurant because it is a little upscale. I wouldn't say that it was expensive; but it was definitely not inexpensive. Continental dining combined with a little bit of nouveau made this place a real experience.
