A well-maintained restaurant with welcoming waitresses. They were busy, but there was no wait.
The meal was good.

Disappointment...
At a previous dinner, the baked Camembert was tasteless.
More recently, the perfect egg appetizer with mushroom cream was too salty and, above all, too cloying.
As for the burger, the patties were burnt on top.
Frankly, very disappointed. They need to improve, because the staff and location are pleasant!

New Chanzy!! Truly disappointing on all levels: exorbitant prices and no value for money, with meager meals or even just one drink (1 whisky = €16). A dreary atmosphere. Yes, indeed ⁉️ they have to make the reopening profitable at the expense of the customers. OMG, never again 🫣😏😀 … More
