Au Cinq Sens - Table reservation

I just ate in the beautiful, small, atmospheric restaurant. we went there because it was one of the few restaurants that were open on Sunday night. but I am so glad that it was open and that we did not miss a pleasant meal. the chef obviously has a great flair and style. we did not choose from the menu, but chose courses to fit.

got into Dole on a Monday mid-day, French Holiday, and this restaurant was open; kids hungry, so we go in. we were not prepared for the great experience we had; kids enjoyed it, we enjoyed it, and overall we all had a very nice meal...for an affordable price by French standards. we were adults and kids.

We came in late for lunch on a Tues with adults and kids. The fixed menu is a really good deal. Excellent course lunch for euros. Can't get better than this in France.
