The diners at the outside tables appeared happy and the food appeared promising so we checked out the menu. That was when our host said he "spoke English like a Spanish cow". Somehow that hooked us in and we chose the last small outside table for two. The menu was limited but the choices excellent. We started with entre salads - salmon and duck. Both were generous, well seasoned and tasty, complemented by excellent bread, but then this is France. Our plats of gambas and duck comfit were similarly large and well prepared. The rose' wine we ordered was not available so the owner offered us a much more expensive bottle at the lower price, a very thoughtful and appreciated bit of hosting. We would definitely return.

The first an main course were delicious. We had various salads as starter and lamb, tartare, ravioli as mains. Both the wine and the dessert were good but not as great as the food. All in all we would recommend l'image as it has great food for a good price.

Beautiful small restaurant, good price for a menu, especially in consideration of the quality of the food that is very good. washroom could be improved. read more Beautiful small restaurant, good price for a menu, especially in consideration of the quality of the food that is very good. washroom could be improved.
