    Slightly on the pricey side, but the food was very very good and the portions are big. The Jamiroquai background music didn’t really fit the setting, but other than that I do really recommend a visit to Pique-Nique.

    The service was exceptional. My wife is a wheelchair user, and the staff were very friendly and accomodating. There is an accessible toilet which was clean and easy to get to. The food was not exceptional, but it was good, and a very good value for the price. Also, having a separate gluten-free menu with a wide array of choices was so helpful! The location and ambiance are fantastic. We will definitely be back.
