All we wanted was a glass of cool water, surly this would be much too menial a task for these people. But we were desperate and needed refreshment. I asked could we just have some cool sparkling water. "But of course" said the lady in charge with a big smile and ushered us to a seat. The water it turned out was from their own source and came in a tall elegant bottle with a sliced lemon. It was exactly what we wanted and served in this cool premises with dragon flies feeding in the pool it was exactly what we needed to be restored. The nice surprise was that the charged us just €5.60 for our two elegant waters which we felt was very reasonable. Well done Café Bras.

We arrived around 14.30, the restaurant was closed and we could only have their toasted sandwiches. The food was nice, fresh and tasty but overpriced, 9/10 euros for a toasted sandwich... Service was non-existent, our food arrived before the water as nobody actually bothered giving us a bottle of tap water and glasses, we had to remind them. after that, we made eye contact on several occasions with the waitresses but none of them came to inquire on what we wanted. As a consequence, we abandoned any idea to have dessert and coffee and went straight to the bar to pay...

Never before have I been offered the choice of tables to see where the best place for our dog was. The set menu was great value, coffee the cheapest I've had any where in France and wine by the glass reasonably priced. To be honest we couldn't fault this at all. The staff were superb, food great and the building stunning. Nothing not to love.
