"The first bite of the small kitchen courtesy was crazy delicious, out of this world! But let’s go step by step, because not the whole experience was like that. This is a restaurant that privileges quality over quantity, as the waiter informs you from the beginning. Expect expensive prices, very well presented dishes, very good service and good taste. The portions are compact, without actually being really small I had the surprise menu, which disappointed me because it was not really a surprise. The surprise consists of the chef (or the personal of the restaurant) choosing for you what combination of starter, first plate, second plate and dessert you will have. But the dishes were listed in the weekly menu, so it was not an additional choice to what I had already read and that’s why I think it was disappointing. I expected something not included in the menu. The taste of the food was between good and really good in all dishes. Except for the risotto, which was prepared in octopus ink and after half of my portion the taste started to feel too intensive and somehow too salty. In this sense, the portion was too big to be part of a 4 -course menu. I found the atmosphere elegant, strict, and boring, really decadent and this does not transmit he sense of joy hat the food gives you in the mouth. I found particularly annoying that the clients didn’t seem to feel comfortable talking in a normal voice. Everybody was whispering their conversations as though they were afraid of disturbing the other people. It didn’t feel relaxed and natural, but this might have been just a matter of the clients of that particular night."

we had the four-course menu. we said it was a surprise. it was excellent. quality was excellent, and the crowd didn't want to. highly recommended!
Antonio
We had a lovely lunch, sat outside, the waiter was very pleasant and recommended something which wasn't on the menu which was very nice. Very cheery atmosphere, lovely setting . . . On the more expensive side for a light lunch.

beautiful gem to find and enjoy. a true example of love for gastronomic (again) experience. enjoy the menu of the cook. superb! they change their menu every 7 days. reservations as early as possible as they are limited in their capacity.

My wife and I are foodies. We travel the world and try the best restaurants wherever we can. Agapé is clearly one of the best ones we tried, and it has a little extra that makes a huge difference. Every dish is fantastic, every ingredient is carefully chosen and cooked at perfection. The wine pairing is great, and includes surprising discoveries. The Chef and his wife are great and entertaining hosts. No hesitation, we will be back!

First visit at Agapé for lunch time. Agapé position is central, they have a terrace which is very enjoyable during summer. The concept is simple, bistro style with a gastronomic, gourmet vision therefore small menu, fresh ingredients and a keen eye on the presentation. Cuisine influences from Italy as well as France. Today we were a party of three. We had a carpaccio de loud de mer with peach dots and lime and pomelo dices. Followed by a risotto with chanterelles and zucchini, a risotto with tomato, stracciatella shrimps and a iron steak with radish ravioli. Lunch was rounded up by a café gourmand (oh so French, oh so nice! . We all enjoyed our dishes, portions are correct and reflect their...
