Rudy and the evening
Chef and host Rudy, who comes from Marseilles, is the reason many visitors come back. Visitors say he talks with the tables, brings the raclette over himself and remembers returning guests. One visitor who celebrated a birthday there said the owner joked with the family and never rushed them. The restaurant describes the night as raclette, bourguignon and stories of the Mediterranean, and that mix of food and conversation is what most diners remember.
