Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
This restaurant is housed in a 16C building on a cobbled street in the town centre. The decor is chock-a-block with charming features, with its large fireplace, stone window frames, exposed beams and colossal wooden branches from which the light fixtures hang. The discreet hostess (who is also the pastry chef) and the chef, who can be seen fully focused and hard at work in the open kitchen, extend a smiling welcome to their guests. The flawless dishes are bursting with energy: courgette, pepper and chorizo velouté; pressed skate, leek confit, fish fumet creamed with lemon; tartlet, blackcurrant and fig (fresh, in a mousse, a sorbet and a coulis!). The lunch menu is excellent value for money.
