Run by the charming French hosts Melanie and Karinne, this lesbian-owned spot blends French elegance with Thai island charm, featuring wooden decor, soft lighting, and stunning ocean views that create an intimate atmosphere.

The menu highlights a fusion of French and Thai flavors, including fresh seafood, daily-baked bread, cheese platters, roasted duck legs, salads, and more.
