David N.David Noël: Get the mussels and ask for an extra side of bread to dip in the creamy saffran sauce.

F. B.F. Bastard: Our food was surprisingly poor. Mussels past their prime + overcooked. The rest of the tasting menu was merely passable. Odd service too (busboy slid spoons across the table instead of placing them?)

BiancaBianca: Go for the testing menu. Loved the lentils, the fish, the pasta, the mussels. Not necessarily this order 😄
