Logis and Michelin have rarely let us down. Our congenial waitress encouraged us to try the menu of the day-and it was spectacular and modestly priced for the premium quality. Their chef's presentation and blending of flavors was exceptional. This borders on Michelin Star quality at a slightly lower price point. The appetizer, a warm crab mousse salad placed back in some small shells with an accompanying salad was sublime. The main course, a chocroute of seafood, with three different types of fish was masterful A light dessert was also very pleasing. A respectable wine list and one of the best cups of coffee we have had in France added to the celebration.The foregoing goes to prove you can still have a truly memorable meal in France without going through the sometimes over orchestrated rituals of the starred restaurants. Bravo! We will go out of our way to return!

We wouldn't be so cheeky as to suggest anything is better than what we ate, everything on the menu looked lovely and everything we ate was fantastic taste with clean sharp and defined and all of this added to fantastic view of the harbour. Really can't recommend this restaurant enough. The chef and owner seems to work your socks off and it really shows.
