Reviews
Love the idea of choosing what to put on your board: everything was good but the basil chevre and the truffle gouda were our favorite! Service was excellent and we liked the wine tasting!
I was here on June 17, 2026, for dinner. It was a positive experience, both for the quality of the food and the friendly service. The beer selection was also very extensive. I highly recommend it. The platters they serve are excellent value for money.
I really can't say enough good things about this place, so I'll keep it short - 17.45 is wonderful! The concept, the offerings, and the staff are all superb, and you should definitely try the house-made tiramisu 😉
We had such a nice experience. The service was really great, the food and wine recommendation was also great.
Le 17.45 provides an intriguing dining experience centered around small plates for sharing and a variety of wine and beer. We found it to be well worth the visit, praising the high quality of the service. Note that the ambiance can be loud, particularly on peak nights like Saturday.
