We received a friendly welcome, it was busy but they found us a table, it’s not touristy as it’s tucked away in the old port area. We chose the set menu, prawns and salmon for entree, and rai a La normandie for mains, all delicious. Too full for dessert, but they looked good. A typical French bistro, with great service!

Full of locals not tourists and various menus offering freshly prepared food at a range of prices. Wine too was sensibly priced so we had a great meal in comfortable surroundings at a reasonable price. Seek this out -it's a bit tucked away but very authentic.

Brilliant food, well presented and served. Extensive menu of fresh fish and locally produced steaks. read more Brilliant food, well presented and served. Extensive menu of fresh fish and locally produced steaks.
