"the menu is quite small: 2 appetizers, 2 nets, 2 desserts; plus drinks. we had everything: [appetizers] velouté of red lenses and cocos milk Japanese style kohlsalat [mains] curry w/14 seasoned and chalk vegan bolognese [desserts] cheesecake chocolate cream they were all delicious! especially the main plates. the service was welcoming, the atmosphere was quite pleasant, and the waiting times were quite normal considering that only one person takes care of everything. the mains are at 16€; but there is a set menu (e.g. 24€ for the starter maindessert). and everything is organic (and gluten-free). in any case worth a visit; but try to book a table in advance, as it seems to be popular among the natives."

"the food was super super good!! i had a grilled beef with green lime as starter and it was the best food i have ever eaten in France i have to say!! of course a visit to a Thai restaurant would not be complete without trying their green curry and it was really good as well. i would be going to this restaurant again and trying other menus..a bit on the pricy side but with the fork/ la fourchette discount, it helps to reduce the price a little bit. really that was really a perfect meal i had a fresh coconut drink from the shell itself, a superbly amazing starter, and a very good chicken green curry for the main. If u go in couple, it would be nice to share, as the portion is quite big, and u can order the beef grilled starter,and 2 main dishes to share, and to be eaten with steamed rice, which is the normal way Asians eat at home! the waitresses don't speak english, that was fine for me as i speak a bit of French. even when they don't speak english, i could tell that they are very friendly, and tried to interact with us as much as possible. I am living in France currently and there is some truth when the general says french waitress are some of the worst u can get with their slow service, but this one was definitely different. . Food came quickly and they seem very nice people. I went with a friend as we had a crave for Thai food and after some research from Trip Advisor, we had some options and Im really glad that we chose this (as it has a discount from La Fourchette which was a very good marketingPLUS point for them! it worked for them at least in our case ;) )all in all, U GUYS HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE."

"I had the chance to go to the Gyspe on my birthday to have lunch. What a pleasant restaurant, the decoration is very pretty and a soothing and friendly atmosphere reigns there. The welcome is great I was accompanied to a table, the best to my taste seen on the open kitchen with a nice olive tree on my left. During my installation the menu was explained to me with a lot of practice what was very pleasant. When my entry came, I knew I was going to eat well in view of the proportions that are very generous. The accras of fish were perfect accompanied by a tomato coulis and a garlic emulsion: a pure treat. At the arrival of my dish, an antipasti of vegetables served with a burrata, I did not take the time to admire my presentation because I only made a bite of this perfectly seasoned dish. My dessert then arrived well established and it was as beautiful as good. The mix of yuzu and strawberry I still dream of. I finished my tasting with a glass of champagne, and when it happened, I was asked how it was my meal, which I enjoyed a lot. The dessert dish menu cost me only 22€ without the cup of champagne. So we can say that for less than 30€ we eat very well, we have a top quality service and all this in a great setting. Thanks to the whole team, I'll come back for sure!"

"This restaurant was a lovely surprise. A small place near a Japanese and Italian restaurant we opted with the family (kids 9-12 age bracket) to try it out. The lamb curry was a big hit with my son, well spiced (but not searing hot) and full of delicate flavor. Sha Momo (a Tibetan specialty) was lovely sort of ravioli and the little sauces on the side were fresh and one of them if you like you can add, really *really* spicy. The stir fry was also lovely and just like all the dishes was made with very fresh herbs - lovely coriander leaves - and spices that balanced well. I'm no expect, only ate Tibetan once before in China, but the quality was good (but do not expect Yak meat - they cannot get it here).The staff/owners (they are one and the same) come from Tibet originally. They were lovely. The woman speaks English and French well, so no issues with communicating and she's very friendly."
