Called in on the off chance and offered the Menu Oeuvre (workers menu) for 13.50euros including melon with local cured ham, pork steak with a delicious mushroom sauce followed by a light puffs story and peach dessert. Wine not included but very reasonable Pichet of Rose. Fantastic! The normal menu looked great as well

But if you leave at junction 56 of the A20 you can have a wonderful three-course menu of the day for half the price of a motorway meal. The restaurant is in the centre of a picturesque village and has a thoughtfully decorated dining room for chilly days. Outside is a shaded patio for summer. The welcome is always warm, The food always varied and delicious. As I said,we are sooo lucky.

The food was a real surprise: we had hopes for something nice but this was excellent. Well worth a visit. read more The food was a real surprise: we had hopes for something nice but this was excellent. Well worth a visit.

Whether we are having a more casual lunch on their beautiful patio or dinner inside the pretty restaurant, it is always a delight. The meals are innovative and beautifully presented. The restaurant and owners are not pretentious, but they serve wonderful food at very reasonable prices. The other night I had foie gras with a cherry sauce which was extraordinary. We feel very fortunate to have this restaurant so close by since it really is one of the best restaurants in the area.
