We were happy to see a number a good reviews on Yelp and an interesting menu and decided to have dinner here. Our waiter was very friendly but did not speak much English and we speak French rather badly, but we were all able to manage just fine. I ordered the Charcuterie platter for my dinner, which was delicious. Dining companions had a chicken dish and the fish du jour. Everyone was happy with choices. Good food. Good service. I would certainly come back.

Although we were tempted by the delicious looking bagels, my husband and I opted to have a salad each - which came with a bagel anyway. They were both terrific with lots of fresh ingredients and generous servings of protein. We didn't like the soup though - it turned out to be leek and potato cup a soup!

The café is tiny with maybe enough seats for 15 people at most so be prepared to wait to sit down around lunch time. The bagels also take a while to come out but you can see the bagels being carefully assembled before your eyes in the tiny kitchen by the very friendly owners. The range of fillings is great with salads, meats, seafood, cheeses and much more available. There are also more varieties of bagel bun than you can shake a stick at. The bagels themselves are very tasty and very sizeable, absolutely heaving with filling, actually maybe too much filling, the free flowing serviettes become a must have as things get quite messy. The range of drinks is good and their sizes are decent, the hot chocolate being double the size of puny equivalents found elsewhere. The counter of cakes is varied and enticing, and a slice of cheesecake serves as a tasty conclusion to a satisfying meal. With a meal deal offer, you get a bagel, a hot or cold drink and a dessert for under €10, which is a bargain in my books. It's a perfect place to have a late lunch if you can nab a table. I'll definitely be going again for those delicious bagels!
