Good cafe food Mrs D went for Omelette with champignons with salad, I went for La Landaise salad tomatoes, smoked duck, lardons. Both simple but filling. Not the most elegant, but a friendly, authentic, quick and cheap lunch the total bill was €27 including a pichet of rosé and a bottle of sparkling water. Not a bad option if you are looking for something quick and simple.

This wee place was just what we wanted. Tasty omelettes, salads and a nice Cognac from the place across the road... felt very authentic.

Burger of the day for the adults was with goats cheese, salad and a honey mayo cooked perfectly. Our 3 year old was very happy with chicken and chips and an ice cream to follow. So don’t be put off by decor just enjoy your food!!

It was a reasonable price and a pleasant experience. Service was friendly but a little slow. That said we weren't in a hurry so it didn't bother us. I'm happy to recommend it :

The plat du jour (bavette à l’échalote) at Euro 8.50 caught our eye and we stopped for lunch. This is a classic French bistro dish and the cafe managed it just right. Simple but delicious, served with a big portion of frites (chips) and lettuce. There was a small charge for mustard, ketchup, etc. Friendly server. Clean washroom. On the downside, dogs were allowed in the cafe. Fortunately we were seated outside.
