Well cooked, quick and pleasant service and at less than €40 for 2 people including 2 courses with a good house rosé and coffee we thought it was a great place for lunch. Situated directly on the Place Champollion in...the centre of Figeac the surrounding, mostly, medieval facades are an excellent location for lunch. Plenty to see if the weather is good even in mid-May before the tourist season really heats up Typical of the local 'menu du jour ' 3 choices for entreé and for main we had the smoked salmon on empenada first then split for main, one lamb cooked 'à la maison ' and one sea bream (dorade). Plenty for lunch though desserts existed for another €2 each. Having expected the empenadas to be corn based we found on asking they were wheat flour which did count against them and when arrived they were hard, overcooked and difficult to eat. The lamb was a little dry and the dorade also a little overcooked but that is being overly picky given the usual overriding requirements of providing large numbers of similar meals quickly, efficiently and for a fixed price. Overall, great value and good food for a moderate sum in a nice environment. Nicely presented though I would have preferred roast potatoes than the ubiquitous frites.

I would not recommend this restaurant.
