Petit havre de paradis en plein Sarrebourg. Une décoration qui vous transporte, des plantes de partout, du mobilier choisi avec soin, et une équipe exceptionnelle. Concernant la carte, nous avons été heureux d'avoir un joli choix de plats végétariens, et surtout, quel régal. Un réel moment de bonheur, hors du temps. Merci à toute l'équipe.

A beloved classic that every resident in Sarrebourg has known for decades has now been completely renovated and taken over by the previous owner’s son who has revamped the entire restaurant and turned it into a work of art. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was great and the food was phenomenal - I especially loved the Canard Laqué, a favorite of mine and very well executed by the team at MEI. A must when visiting the area!

Ate only at the restaurant for dinner, which was an unexpected surprise in Sarrebourg with lovely an Asian menu, which was delicious! Variety of dishes and entrees, and a well stocked bar. Several dining areas, excellent service despite the restaurant being very full and busy.

Nous sommes arrivés hier soir assez tard et avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse. La personne à la réception a été vraiment aimable et attentionnée, ce qui fait toujours plaisir après un long trajet. La nuit s’est très bien passée, la chambre était calme et confortable. Le petit déjeuner, quant à lui, était très bien servi, varié et agréable. Une belle expérience, merci !

FR - EN - IT - ES Cuisine traditionnelle qui change des buffets à volonté redondants. La qualité y est vraiment supérieure, le service royal et le goût tout simplement exquis. Je recommande vivement malgré un prix plus élevé que les buffets car ceci est un réel restaurant asiatique et il ne troque pas l'authenticité contre du bénéfice ! Traditional cooking that is pretty uncommon asides unlimited buffets we all know too much. Highly superior quality, royal customer care and divine flavours. I deeply recommend it though it is more expensive than buffets because this is a real Asian restaurant and authenticity isn't being diluted by profit! Cucina tradizionale che cambia dai buffet senza limite che conosciamo già troppo. Una qualità superiore, un servizio a tavolo da principe ed un gusto squisito. Lo raccomando davvero benché il prezzo sia più alto dai buffet perché questo è un ristorante asiatico vero e non scambia l'autenticità contro il beneficio! Cocina tradicional que cambia de los buffet sin limite que ya conocemos demasiado. Una cualidad superiora, un servicio cómo se haría para reyes, y sabores riquísimos. Lo recomiendo de verdad aunque el precio sea más alto de los buffet porque es un restaurante asiatico verdadero y la autenticidad no está dejada por el lado contra algún beneficio!
