With a name pledging to awaken your senses, this Petite France bistro promises great things – and it delivers. Tables draped in white linen and flowers create an intimate, romantic mood for dishes big on integral flavours: marinated salmon with Granny Smith apple and wasabi, wine-braised pork cheeks with Emmental crumble, Munster tiramisu with a pinch of cumin, and the like.
