    Couldn’t love Le Salle more if I tried. The menu changes regularly with only the bread remaining constant. Each dish cooked perfectly and presented with incredible care. Eddy provides a warm service and som duties. This menu included all the required food groups and the option to upgrade to a wagyu. The fish, Imperadore was the favourite for me but almost too close to pick a favourite.

    We were very grateful for the restaurant as they decided to still keep our booking even though it was the last day before they shut down temporarily for renovations. Regardless of them dealing with a lot, we were served with great fresh food and they made sure to accomodate us as much as possible! Everything was super delicious
