Hotel de France restaurant

My wife and I were taken for lunch by two friends. We booked in advance and my wife, whose French is excellent, told them when making the booking that one of the four of us was a vegetarian. They said this was noted and the chef would be told. We thought, given the rather ecstatic reviews by others, that this was going to be a cut above the average menu-du-jour place, and therefore that, despite local attitudes, they'd be creative enough to cope with a vegetarian.We were wrong. The waitress was friendly enough when we three omnivores ordered our steaks and magret from the a la carte menu, but when my wife said "I'm the vegetarian - I phoned yesterday" the response was a heavy sigh - clearly...

Booked on the same day, good price. Very friendly family business. Rooms are clean, towels are fresh and the bed is comfy. Large window opens out onto the Main Street and lets I lots of fresh air on a stifling night.Restaurant is a nice surprise. Reasonable menu price, talented chef who knows how to cook (which is harder to find than you'd think). The fish was excellent. Nice selection of local wines. And again all served with charm and a smile.Would come again.
