Nice restaurant, liked the poisson en papillote. My wife had a fish in coconut stew which was also very good. Come late if you enjoy the company of other customers.

Food here is pretty good, fish en papilotte is excellent, as are the chicken dishes - although they seem to run out of things like chicken on a regular basis which is a bit of a frustration.
