Un Excellent rapport qualité prix
(Salade verte exquise!)
Parlons de l'accueil! Un monsieur d'une quarantaine d'années nous reçoit et la grande surprise il étais en état d'ébriété ou en tout cas c'est l'impression qu'il donné !
Côté plat très déçu petite quantité dans les assiettes, des patate grenaille encore dure , pas cuite et ultra épicé ! Avec en prime une petite cuise de canard confit et c'est tout! Même pas une sauce pour accompagner ce plat sec !
Très déçu nous ne reviendront plus jamais !
