Catherine Germier-Hamel, a renowned impact entrepreneur and sustainable tourism development consultant, recently enjoyed a business lunch at Khéma Flatiron.
We then had the opportunity to briefly discuss with her about her experience at the restaurant. A place she discovered for the first time. And, she expressed great satisfaction with her Khéma experience, saying:
“This lunch was a welcome respite after a busy and stressful day. Khéma Flatiron is an ideal location for individuals seeking a pleasant dining or lunch experience and a chance to indulge in French dishes that have long been a source of culinary fantasies.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Khéma for a truly delightful lunch experience.”
