Review by Darryl

Le Diplomate offers a charming blend of ambiance and cuisine that captures the essence of a true French bistro. During my visit, I was greeted by the warm decor and friendly staff, setting a cozy tone for the evening. I started with the onion soup, which was delightful, followed by the beef bourguignon that melted in my mouth!

Though conversation was a bit challenging amidst the lively crowd, the overall experience was enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! 🍷
