Café du Simplon

I’ve had many drinks here on the terrace during the warm summer days and evenings, but ate here for the first time last night.
Pluses:
–fresh, tasty, well-​prepared though not mind-​blowing,
prob due to the incongruous menu: tajines (Moroccan), assiettes italiennes (uh, Italian haha), moules frites (French), créme double + meringues (Swiss), etc.
–some nice things that you don’t usually see on a café menu, like rabbit, some fresh pasta with a saffron cream sauce… nice!
–very friendly staff (server fella let my boyfriend try several red wines, and even offered him a glass in the end)
Minuses:
–deafeningly loud… they could put some of those sound-​absorbing cushion things around to help with the problem
–the lights give you corpse complexion LOL
(not big deals, but a bit unpleasant so worth mentioning… not a reason to avoid the place)
I ordered the chicken tajine with citron confit… it was well-​prepared and tasty, though I could not detected the preserved lemon, which is the highlight. *sad clown* My boyfriend had the assiette italienne, with jambon de Parma and mozzerella di bufala, and it was fresh and had good quality ingredients. Dessert was créme double with meringues and a tiramisu, both classic and good.
All in all, it seems to be a reliable place and I would return!
