                              Cafe Colline was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. All of the food was prepared to have a party in your mouth and leaving you sated. Just divine!

                              As always, both the food and service were amazing. Our server recommended some new things to us (duck, cod and mint chip ice cream). Which were all great recommendations and not things we would have necessarily picked ourselves!
