Food: French, Modern French, European
Average price:$8Euro - $29Euro.
Complimentary: Bread roll.
We ordered: $29Euro for three courses.
Tomatoes carpaccio with mozzarella salad
The tomatoes were watery and devoid of flavour. Not particularly tasty at all.
Salad with Parmesan and cherry tomatoes
Needed more tomatoes (there were only two) otherwise it was fine.
Lamb and Parmesan semolina
Ok, nothing special.
Tuna with potatoes
The tuna was overcooked and dry and there was barely any flavour in the dish at all, it highly resembled plane food.
Red berry salad
The flavours were nice, until we found 4 blackberries covered in white mould...
Apple tart tatin
The apples turned to complete mush and the pastry was very tough. Didn't even want a second bite.
Cost: $49Euro for 2 entrees, 2 mains and 2 desserts (they ended up charging us less ($9Euro) as they compensated us for the mouldy fruit dessert).
Service: Very relaxed. Perhaps it was because we were seated by the pool, as the service felt more like 'poolside service' than restaurant service. Food also took a little while despite there being only one other table seated, most likely due to the extremely tiny outdoor kitchen.
Atmosphere: We were outside by the pool which had lovely rooftop views and was very relaxing, however once the sun sets, beware of the mosquitoes.
Parking: Limited street parking - there is underground parking for guests.
