Ooooohmygod! Je n'y suis pas allé, juste passé, mais j'aurai toujours l'adresse en tête.. vraiment! Déjà la rue a un "je ne sais quoi", ajoutons un petit resto hors de notre vie trépidante & stressante! Wooooooooow! Un jour, ce sera mon tour d'y aller!

Endroit très sympa & à peine éloigné de la rue principale ce qui permet d'être plus au calme ! Service très sympa, carte assez minimaliste mais très bon repas !

Incroyable souper Chez Temporel! Nous avons goûté au tartare de boeuf, à la salade de Gravlax ainsi qu'au dessert du moment & tout était absolument parfait. Un des meilleurs tartare de boeuf que j'ai goûté! Merci encore pour ce beau moment!
