We've fallen in love with this restaurant run by two young Frenchwomen offering Franco-Laotian fusion cuisine. The blend is subtle and the taste buds are delighted by this marriage of flavors. We love the numerous burger recipes, as well as the daily suggestions. The menu varies according to season, produce and the owners' inspiration. Attractive cocktail menu. We love the modern setting and original decor! As a result of its success, the restaurant is always busy, so it's best to get there early or book a little in advance.
