Tucked away (but with good signage) in the village near Rochepot Chateau, this restaurant is staffed by immigrants from many war-torn nations. As the hostess said, they appear fine, but many are broken inside. Our waiter was a former Afghan translator for the US military, so naturally his English was very good; he was happy to use it again. it was easy to chat between courses.The 3-course menu (only Euros 13) was plentiful and tasty. Our large salad was so filling, we wondered where we would fit two more courses -- somehow we managed! The dining space is filled with colorful artwork by local artists; the tables and chairs are brightly painted and include whimsical depictions of a set table. Open Tuesday-Fridays.

We were well famished and were warmly greeted by the delightful ladies who run this pretty little cafe that is set in a beautiful garden with fruit trees, roses , vegetables, etc. the room was filled with modern art and a local patron informed us that the cafe had only very very recently opened and was a particularly welcome addition to what is otherwise a fairly scant choice of venues for diners in the village. Well worth a visit and the hostesses are very charming.
