Clearly a great meeting place for locals and not touristy Perfectly acceptable and I enjoyed the two times I visited but only for drinks. Served promptly and with a smile what more could one ask for?. Sit inside or outside with very little passing traffic. Recommended for what it is and none the worse for that.

A clear effort has been made to upgrade the luncheon menu and it shows. Each day of every week, a different lunch special except for the catch of the day Fridays. And if you don't like the formula main, there's always steak/frites. From duck hearts to lasagna, from lamb shanks to beef cheeks, it's fun to check out the week's menu on the chalkboard on Monday mornings. Alex has done a good job and deserves one more star than I gave the joint the last time.

Food was simple but good quality and reasonably priced. Service very welcoming and friendly despite our marginal french ability. Probably also a good place just to stop in for a drink and a nice ice cream.
