Michelin Guide 0 Stars
"There are no magic mushrooms at this gourmet retro bistro - but they do worship ceps, chanterelles and oyster mushrooms, paired with quaffable wines." Full review
Frommer's "This restaurant is dedicated to mushrooms of every kind, taste, and variety. They are either the main point of the dish or the main accompaniment, as in duck with chanterelles" Full review
Fodor's "And while diners might discover that it isn't quite as eccentric as they'd expect (mushrooms feature in all dishes but often as side ingredients), it is nonetheless quite out there." Full review
