The lamb shank was delicious and the blending of Thai and French ingredients was amazing. The recommended wine was a treat and the after dinner espresso hit the spot. I would recommend this for anyone near by, solid choice.

I’m so happy I found this place while visiting Krabi. The restaurant looks so amazing, lots of vintage stuff and art around, you don’t get bored of looking everywhere in the room and see something nice. The staff were so nice and polite, the food was one of the best food I’ve had so far in Thailand, specially the pineapple tart Definitely worth a visit if you are in Krabi

Nice restaurant, very unique setup. If you look for something special that is the place. Food was okay very tasty.

Went during off season so it was quiet but that made our experience even better. The owner was so lovely and helpful with explaining the menu and went through the extensive drink and wine list with us. Food was incredible, the French/thai mix on the menu was amazing. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

One of the best restaurants I have ever been the atmosphere and food was amazing and the staff so friendly the crab curry is to die for! The banana French toast for dessert was amazing and the fire show the French man put on was wonderful. 10/10 recommend 100% worth the 30 min drive!

Came on a last minute birthday date and the food, the service and the atmosphere was perfect. Best steak we’ve had for a long time

The dining experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional! Frederick, the owner, was warm and welcoming, taking the time to thoughtfully explain each dish we ordered. When we requested something with max spice, he graciously offered to customize a dish not even on the menu. The result—Prawns in Chou Chee Curry was absolutely spectacular. I’d go so far as to say it was the best curry I’ve had in either India or Thailand. The Pad Thai and Tiger Prawns in Tamarind Sauce were equally impressive, and the desserts provided a perfect sweet conclusion to an outstanding meal.

Both a Thai and a French menu, but without a doubt the best French cuisine west of Bangkok. This is quality, slow food at its European best and one of the top restaurants in Krabi Town. Extensive wine list (bottle, carafe, glass) and choice of desserts and aperitifs & digestives. Unique ambience with an equally unique host. Many awards and mentioned in the Green Michelin for its sustainable food practices (no additives, MSG, etc.)
