You will get the quality of a qualified chef, offering local products at fair prices.My personal favorite in was the 'pot au feu des escargot'. Pure taste!The restaurant is well known by the local people and also at weekdays well booked. So, don't forget to do a reservation.

The few pieces of bread on our table looked and tasted stale. Rather surprising really in a country that boasts of producing fresh baguettes twice a day. The amuse-bouche was a small dollop of risotto like rice with bits of vegetables mixed in. It was completely tasteless. I had cod with shell fish sauce for main and my husband a pan fried sea bream. He chose better than me. The mussels were ok but the rest of the shellfish was too tough to eat. The sauce was bland, despite the abundance of shellfish on my plate. Very disappointing. Will not go again.

We arrived without booking and only received a table due to a last minute cancellation.The restaurant is located near the market place within a 10 minutes walk from the main tourist attractions.Service experienced was good, the waiter took time to run us through the menu. It contains a good selection of meats, fish and a varied selection of starters.The amuse bouche and the snacks arrived quickly together with the drinks ordreredThe starters ordered (duo the tartar (fish) and the salmon carpaccio) arrived short time later. Quantities were in line with expectations, the ingredients were fresh and well presented. In our view it lacked a bit on spice.The time between starter and main course was too long, waited around 30 minutes in between. We both had meat (veal mignon and filet de boeuf). While the veal mignon was overdone (it really was well done), we very much liked the filet de boeuf which was well cooked and very tasty. The deserts were nice and portions adecuate.Wine selection is extensive but with prices on the high end (Chateauneuf du pape 2010 @ 52 Euros).All in all a good selection if your looking for an upmarket place near the city center offering a relaxed atmosphere - recommend it.

It is really delicious: Foie gras made at home and hot little brioche served with a cherry cahutney, a glass of Coteaux du Layon sweet white wine was a great starter, for example, and the service is always great!! The only low point of the restaurant is that it is a bit hidden not on the main road. So go and taste it without hesitation!!
