A touch of France in downtown Halifax. Went here for lunch/mid-day. Was impressed by the nice, cozy, and elegant ambience. Ordered Jambon Blanc Galette and I loved it!

If you appreciate french cuisine, and a pretty aesthetic, don’t miss an opportunity to savour an experience here - either outside on their patio with salty air and views of the sea, or inside their cozy space. Their brunch menu is divine - and espresso drinks (lattes, cappuccinos etc) are excellent. In the afternoons- catch their Happy hr before 6 pm, which has excellent deals (like a glass of bubbly with frites for 10-) and their main menu is excellent- French onion soup, salads, beef bourguignon on pommes alicot, etc. And with the best creme brulee ever? Say no more...

This is really impressive elegant French style restaurant. It was introduced by the hotel reception, not let us disappoint, my kids and I were all satisfied about everything we had here. Food tastes so good, especially pain Au chocolate, crunchy and fully of favor. My daughter ordered CROISSANT BLT , she said it was so delicious and made a high comments on it. I ordered Twa-course Prix Pixe: FRENCH ONION SOUP and Seared Salmon and beef fat frites, I love the French onion soup and salmon, salmon is fresh and juicy, tastes so good. Kids loved frites. My son order CAESAR SALAD,he said not enough salad dressing or sauce on it. Finally I had it and felt it was ok. but price of this salad was a little expensive, we don’t think it was worthy 17 . The environment is unique and elegant, I love the red-crowned crane decorated wall paintings. The color of lights made me feel so warm. Waitresses are nice and check us frequently. This is good place worthy to visit again and recommend to other friends.

This was the best experience my husband and I have had for breakfast, and possibly ever. We were just visiting for the afternoon and wanted something simple and to have a nice seat. This cafe did not disappoint. The environment was absolutely adorable!! Everything meshed so perfect down to the baristas striped shirts. My husband experienced the best roast beef sandwich of his life and almost a week later, has told over five people. Unfortunately, we will likely never be back due to only being there traveling but I can not recommend enough. We will remember forever.

We had because of bad weather only coffee, so we are not able to vote food. It was a very friendly atmosphere and a nice place to stay. Very kindly service. There is a separate area we're you sit for having food.

Took my mother out for a birthday lunch. Our food was delicious and our waitress was great. There were some complications and our food was brought out later than expected but they handled it wonderfully and we left happy. I didn’t grab their names but both the waitress and manager were kind, courteous and professional. Also they have amazing pastries. I recommend to anyone looking for a quick cafe trip or full on meal.
