The meal and the dishes

Everything was delicious, as you can see on the following pictures

Naan with Brie and truffle: good but the cheese outweighs the truffle

Pumpkin-goat soup: very well balanced

Tandoori : a bit strange texture but very light

The service

The service is perfect as expected in such a palace.

The atmosphere

Calm and sweet… Before a group of very noisy Americans come to disturb this.

Conclusion

An excellent experience and a very good value for money.
