The restaurant is very small and tightly packed. In this time of covid, I found the next table inches away from us uncomfortable. A large noisy group of people were seated next to us, making it difficult to talk. Even though other tables were empty staff pushed everybody into the same area. The portions of food was small and I felt other restaurants in the area offered better value for money.

Me and my partner came here looking for an authentic fondue but we actually got a very small came Bert cheese. It only came with bread which wasn't too fresh nor crispy. We had to order extra side dishes to dip in. The cheese got cold quite quickly too. The service was okay, the overall atmosphere was cosy.

Incredible atmosphere, very discreet and nice little place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The mussel dish was very tasty but I'm personally a fan of meatier mussels. The great broth that came with it quickly made me forget. Don't forget to order a desert! Can't wait to go back!
