Higher class (probably the best restaurant in all New Caledonia), great
decor and excellent French cuisine.
A simple but very precise carte and one full course menu at resonable
prices considering the quality and volume.
The oyters are well chosen and properly served. The crab cannelonis
have to be sampled. The lobster is an experience. The confit de canard
is so traditional and the desserts a class of their own.
Expensive but extensive and sensible wine list with a few rarities
kept in two different cellars.
