I ordered the day offer for 9,5 euros which was veal sauté with mashed potatoes. It was quite good. They have a terrace with a beautiful view on Saone river. Waiters are polite and work fast.

On est venu à 5 sans réservation le 14 juillet. L'équipe nous a très bien accueilli et malgré le rush à même pris le temps de nous sortir une table pour que nous puissions manger et voir le feu d'artifice. La nourriture était bonne, on a pas trop attendu malgré le monde présent. Félicitations au staff
