Cuisine et vins très bons. La carte est limitée mais tout est bon (avec option vegi) Accueil parfois un peu ronchon mais ça passe. Décoration des Vosges du nord bien sympathique.

Arrivés par hasard et affamés devant la vitrine de ce café, ns sommes rentrés demander le plat du jour. Les deux choix ns ont bien convenu. Ns n'avons pas pris de dessert car ns étions pressés. La tarte tatin fenouil porc était excellente , délicieuse , pleine de saveurs. le café était plein à midi je recommande de réserver.

Cozy Café with nice atmosphere in Besançon! The coffee was great and they also offer breakfast and a lunch menu daily. Didn't see any pastries on display though.

Pour moi, un des meilleurs restaurants à Besançon. J’adore la variété de saveurs qu’on retrouve dans chaque assiette, on dirait presque comme un petit menu dégustation à chaque plat. Je recommande vivement.

Très bonne adresse, serveur très sympathique, on est jamais déçu du menu (il change chaque jour), service rapide et multiples desserts au choix tous excellent. (Petit bonus : un cadre agréable et original plein de détails)

We went there several times for breakfast and one time for lunch. The scrambled egg was super good. We ordered it every time! Their hand-made pies were also very impressive. The quality of coffee were excellent!
