Beautiful restaurant. Friendly and knowledgable service. Amazing food. Wonderfully slow paced tasting menu and wine pairing made for a near perfect Christmas dinner. Overall I highly recommended for that special occasion.

My husband and I had a lovely quiet lunch at La Voile on Monday. We both had cream of mushroom soup, which was beyond amazing. I had moules frites. There was an abundance of mussels in a wonderful wine broth. My husband had a vegetable risotto, which he adored. For dessert we had a very nice chocolate mousse and cream puffs. La Voile is consistently excellent and we will be back.
