Reviews
"Good quality food. From the beginning to the end. The finesse of this cafe is awesome. The wait staff were on point. The kitchen produced a variety of taste sensations, made with love. Thankyou all for your time."
"This was one of the best meals and experiences I have had. I had the poached eggs with ham and hollandaise- one of the best meals I have had (and I am not exaggerating) every bite was delicious. I also had some wonderful sweets from the cabinet, the service was impeccable and unobtrusive. A lovely place on a lovely winter's day!"
"Gorgeous tucked away location. Food looked truly delicious. Not the place for vegans but all else fair game. Worth a stop."
"We had some croque madames and crepes. We were a little disappointed with the croque madame as the bechamel sauce was tasteless and the serving was quite small. Also the salad was unwhelminv, iceberg lettuce, tomato and vinigrette, I found my crepes with Whittaker's chocolate to be quite thick and greasy."
"A nearby French cafe is a dream, and I only knew of this place a few days ago. Payday and I'm there! Reality however, grounded me pretty quick. The 'Crepe Sucree' was incredibly citrus-bitter. Took the breath away, and not in a way I was expecting. The 'Tartine Traditionnelle' was just inexcusable. The toast was cold, the ham was cold and the scrappy-looking poached eggs looked like I cooked them, as opposed to a professional cook. They were also too firm, which was probably from the time they sat on the pass. The overall presentation of the meal just says 'I don't care'. I did mention this to them when paying too, so not talking out of turn. That said, I'm thinking this is an anomoly and I'm going back. There's too many other dishes I want to try and won't let this visit put me off."
