Possibly the best tasting food ever, in my life. Certainly, one of the top 3 restaurants for me. Absolutely delicious, with very attentive wait staff, and fairly priced food. The best tuna tartare I've ever eaten!

What a gem!  Don't even know where to start... The place is absolutely faultless.  We found it by sheer accident as we were living just round the corner.  Let's start with the easy bits.  The staff is super friendly, speaks English, with sense of humour, smiles, no airs & graces and very reactive.  The place reminds me of a typical French bistro (but from a higher shelf), being small (perhaps 30 covers), white tablecloths, subdued lighting, intimate atmosphere - in a word, cosy.  Now the best bit - food.  We had no hesitation in choosing the tasting menu (all in - 11 dishes with 5 glasses of paired wine @ around USD80 per person at the time of writing) - not a steak in sight! Which is great, after 5 weeks of eating beef (undoubtedly the best in the world). It is a combination of seafood, pork (suckling pig to die for!), fruit & vegetables.  Even after the 11 courses & wine you do not feel extremely stuffed.  For optics of the food - see the photos but for the taste - I must say it was sublime, perfectly balanced & imaginative.  And served with perfect timing.  The inclusion in the Michelin guide is very well deserved!

Roux was an absolutely amazing experience. The food was fabulous and the service impeccable. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience. The hosts are welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting and the food is divine. A must do for a reasonable price! It was our anniversary and the staff seemed to go out of their way to make our experience even better. I wish we had more time to eat there again.

Great french style food and fresh seafood which was really delicious. Delightful and I loved the octopus and the fish, which were extremely fresh, as well as the plating. Lovely fusion and balance of flavours. Service was excellent.

The restaurant was also generous and served a few amuse bouches complimentary. The bread basket had a good assortment of breads and was acxompanied by high quality butter. Gnocchi was a bit too soft for my liking though as I prefer it to be a bit more springy and chewy.

Make a reservation to ensure you get a seat, and if request to sit inside as much as you can. I wouldn't recommend sitting outside as the lighting isn't that great (if you are having dinner), and on a cold day (though they have heaters) as it does get a bit windy. Not within the restaurant's control but if you're outdoors and the garbage truck comes by (am not sure about the schedule but one came in the evening) it does dampen the overall experience a little.

One of the best in the city.
I went back today. 2 weeks later, with a larger group. They made a mistake with our reservation. However, anyone can make mistakes, what's important is how it's solved. It was solved with professionalism and grace. The food was excellent again.
