Joue de boeuf & pâtes aux fruits de mer, excellentes tout comme les dessert, crème brûlée & gâteau de fromage. Ce restaurant est une belle surprise dans un lieu très touristique face arrière du Fairmont. Service très sympathique mais un peu long.

Was there back in September, but i just found the photo i took so i can add it & write the proper review.
Was there for breakfast & it was pretty busy & they were a little understaffed, but the food was excellent & the service turned out to be really good.
I surely recommend.
