I adore this place. It's my neighborhood (where I live with my family, this is not exactly next to Chez Raquel).
The simplicity and humility of its waiters, bartenders and owners is impressive and unique. A beautiful place with no pretensions. Most of them are professionals who preferred to leave their jobs and join this enterprising personal project of their friends (the owners). The owner is a biologist and the owner is a plastic artist.
