Great service and excellent food. Couldn’t believe how great the food was. My daughter enjoyed her steak from the kid’s menu too.

Wonderful restaurant in Perpignan, where you can have a taste of the amazing dishes of this area of the France, with its strong Catalan heritage. We had pan tomate and jamon, mejillones (muscles) au gratin and a superb braised lamb leg with a delicious mashed potatoes with local butter! Local wine amazing as well. Service was super, very carefully and nice. You must try this place if visiting Perpignan

We booked online as it was Sunday when fewer restaurants are open. We both opted for the moules gratin followed by the black risotto which came garnished with whole crevettes, accompanied by a local white wine - all very good and well presented.
