Bien sûr, voici un avis que vous pourriez écrire : --- J’ai eu la chance de découvrir ce bar hier soir avec des amis, et quelle belle surprise ! Installés directement au bar, nous avons pu profiter d’un service exceptionnel, chaleureux et attentionné. L’ambiance était parfaite : une atmosphère conviviale qui donne envie de prolonger la soirée. Côté assiette, les plats étaient copieux et les cocktail créatifs et savoureux. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour cette belle soirée ! Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir.

The vibes were nice and for my birthday they played In Da Club by 50 cent so that was cool. But other than that one persons rice was still hard. The bang bang fries and really good and the baklava cheesecake, i highly recommend!
