We booked for 4 at Joanto and were positively surprised by the clean dinning room, the efficient service and of course the dishes themselves. All inspired by the region and prepared with local products. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended even if located in a small village far from any city center around.

The first waiter then informed us that it was not available any longer.and the only menu available for lunch was an a la carte menu he gave us. We then opted for Fois gras fait maison, which was excellent. Then 4 of us chose Chipirons a la plancha. They were very good but just luke warm when they arrived as the plates were very cold, so a bit of a miss. The person who chose a piece of beef was served on a hot plate, however.
