“ My friend & I stumbled upon this place when the restaurant we had planned to visit was closed when we got there It is a tiny bar with a few outside tables under cover. No menu de jour but plenty of plats to choose from. We had wanted the duck but it was unavailable so the owner suggested lamb, roasted with thyme. One piece for the two of us plus vegetables at €15 each. We accepted. We had one glass each of house red wine, one small bottle of sparkling water & 2 coffees. The lamb was well cooked, slightly pink & tender with plenty of flavour. The vegetables were potatoes but we were also given a small fresh salad. The red wine though basic went well with the meat. The bill came to €40.20 which was excellent value for a tasty lunch. The service was friendly. There's a small free car park opposite ”

“ A small restaurant that's definitely worth a visit. Simple cuisine but real cooking talent, excellent service, and the accompanying family atmosphere. In terms of quality, a superb duck breast and its accompaniment, and for dessert, a rum and raisin ice cream and a waffle. What could be better for two retired travelers? A big thank you to the team. Bravo.jlv ”

“ Absolutely nothing to complain about, it was perfect! Joëlle and Olivier gave us a very warm welcome. We enjoyed a particularly delicious ratatouille that Joëlle had simmered for a long time. And the pork knuckle was both tender and filling. We highly recommend it. ”
