All of the restaurant is under canopy due to the heat especially at lunchtime. The restaurant was almost...full (a good sign but they still placed us at the best available table. The waiter was very friendly and encouraged my broken French unlike some places where they prefer you to order in English. I stuck with it and we both ordered sardines and a bottle of Rosé. The sardines came with salad so we asked for a portion of potatoes to share. Being lunch this was more than enough and the sardines were beautifully cooked. The chef came out to check on a very full restaurant which was a nice touch. My wife had café gourmand to finish. All in all a simple but very enjoyable experience. We will be returning very soon with our son and his fiancé for dinner.
