It's a very enjoyable setting to have a good evening amongst friends, relatives or with your lover. The staff is very obliging, smiling and kind. They really gave me the wish to come back. The meals which are offered are excellent too. You can taste there exotic meats like ostrich or crocodile. The waiters can advice you about the best wine to choose in harmony with your meal.

For the price and the location, this place is quite good (50 EUR for family of 4).
