D'abord, un agréable accueil & un service remarquable d'Alexandra! Attentionnée tout au long du repas. Soupe a l'oignon, joue de boeuf & dessert: tous savoureux, belle présentation, bonne portion. L'ambiance était chaleureuse, amicale & respectueuse. Bref, pour un repas mémorable dans un décor unique ! Je recommande 👌

Had dinner at 1640 Bistro & loved it! The duck leg with pasta was fragrant & delicious, the steak tartare was great, & the pizza-highly recommended by the staff-was amazing. The crust was flavorful & chewy, really stood out. Definitely a must-try if you're in town!

Awesome experience all the way through. French fries are perfectly pillowy in the middle & extra crispy on the out, one of the best! Do yourself a favor & give them a try.

Ce qui a fait la différence aujourd'hui c'est notre charmante serveuse Rym. Attentive & polie tout en étant discrète. Rym est vraiment à son affaire, elle s'assure que toutes ses tables sont satisfaites Excellente nourriture ; Les burgers & la Planche de fromage sont nos favoris (10 sur 10 ).
