The 32 Euro Set menu had 3 or 4 choices for each course, with a reasonable variety and we especially enjoyed the fish/seafood dishes. Menu only in French and wait staff not to speak much English, so, despite the use of an online translation app, a few of our choices turned out not to be exactly what we thought, although the shell marigold starter was very good and probably better than Potted shrimp we had expected! The Carte des vin was OK with a few wines through the glass and quite fair value. Service was perfect when slightly irritating, but the staff did their best to communicate through a combination of pigeons English and our rustic French. Overall worth a visit.

However we were so absorbed with listening to the cricket, world final England v New Zealand it was difficult to concentrate on the menu and the meal. We had Oeuf cocotte tradition, crème au lard et champignons, Ceviche...de Thon followed by Salade gourmande (oignons, oeufs pochés, gésiers de canard confits, copeaux de foie gras) Salade de Chèvre (salade, tomates confites, poitrines fumées, toasts de chèvres) and a bottle of Saumur Champigny.

The atmosphere was warm and friendly in pleasant, clean and comfortable surroundings. This building is one of oldest eateries in France. The staff were helpful and efficient. The food style...is French and aims to make the most of local produce. My partner loves steak (rare), so we chose Entrecote of Charolais Beef, which while delicious required a lot of surgery! We chose not to complain as we were lucky to find a good place to eat that night, we were hungry and were able to finish the meal with a good wine and coffees! Sometimes these things happen and all our fellow diners were tucking in with gusto.
