9 of us had dinner here recently. The atmosphere was busy and there were people of all ages. It is a very informal place with a bright roaring feu du bois oven, so hot you can 't get too near. The 20 euro menu was...lovely! There are more expensive menus and also a la carte but 20 euros was fine for us. Everyone starts with soup, which is basically cabbage and frankly delicious! The starters were varied with half a quail on foil gras and toast which was superb and there was also charcuterie amongst other things. We nearly all had tranche du boeuf as the main course.

Olivier was cooking as usual and as is the French way the steaks were a little under done to one of our dinner companions.

We went here against the recommendation of our hosts. We thought it would be worth trying but NO! It really was awful with meat and blood everywhere. Perfect if you are a carnivore!
