Cocktails are good and the terrace is nice, perfect spot for a drink and share olives & nuts. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. Whatever you do, do not order the Focaccia. Its a toast with cold roast beef cubes topped with fresh cranberries, it has no taste and nothing ... to do with a focaccia. Fish crudo was mainly a cucumber/tomato salad.. put aside the food and it’s a great place to go for a drink before dinner. Read more

We really enjoyed the place! We were sitting on “chef’s table”. Food was delicious. We had a great experience with staff, suggested bottle of wine was exactly as we requested. Ambiance was just perfect for our small date night.

The atmosphere and interior decor are amazing! The drinks are not bad. The food however, was not impressive. The Caesar salad was not good imo. Still a great place to catch up with friends over some wine, I would recommend !

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at Kabinet. It is a small restaurant and we were seating at the "chef's table". The point of the chef's table is that you can engage and communicate with the chef about the food/ingredients and unfortunately again this was not the case ... for us. But I could see how you can have a different opinion, chef was very chatty and friendly with his acquaintances, talking about dishes and origin of ingredients he uses... Which is something that can clearly enhance the experience. The menu was limited, with a small bites section and a caviar section. There was not much of appeal to me but decided to try the bourgot which were served cold over leeks. Dish was not good. My friend had the snails and said it was ok, nothing special. Wine list is entirely natural and I had a great glass of red from côtes du Roussillon. Service from our waitress was nice but everything else was not worth me leaving my house. Read more
