“ Very welcoming service. Nothing pretentious, just a delicious steak with morel mushroom sauce. Great service and wine. ”
“ Fabulous welcome and service in this small, unassuming restaurant, owned and run by Eric. We were longing for Steak Frites and came across this place on Trip Adviser. Think there was a menu but Eric simply asked us what we’d like, and we enjoyed delicious Steak Frites with a superb mushroom sauce. €60 for main meal, 2 desserts and 2 glasses of wine. Wrap up warm as it was a little cold but otherwise perfect! ”
“ The food is very good and we had a very pleasant time with Eric. ”
“ Eric our Host perfect gentleman.the menu is small all meat dishes but perfectly cooked ,great find we will return if ever in the area again. ”
“ I was looking to have some Entrecôte during my France Trip. I expected the steak to be a bit different, as it was a bit too thin from what i‘m used to, but it was served with a delicious morel sauce, which made the dish. Another plus point is the owner, who is a very friendly & positive guy, who you can easily get along with. So if you‘re not into very posh restaurants, but still want to experience delicious dishes here in Bourges i can recommend you this restaurant right here! ”
