Such kind service in this extremely cute bistro. We had a smattering of dishes, many vegetarian. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Nice wine selection as well.

This isn't a French café. It's a typical hotel restaurant. The dishes don't match the Google images.

We stayed at the hotel, and made a reservation for our room with breakfast, by mistake - lucky us! We had wonderful A - la- cart breakfasts - super delicious and beautifuly plated, a complete different experience than the usual ones at hotels! The service was also attentive and nice. Thanks!
