We were about 12 of the same family to sit and have some snack and drinks. We took 2 tables and brought them closer. The waiter said this could not be done and wanted us to sit around one and only table, which, according to him, can accomodate up to 17 people and orders. We disagreed and told him so as we needed a bit of space to enjoy ourselves. Plus, we mentioned some clients were just sharing a table for 2. He then became nervous and blamed his boss for willing to maximize profit. This policy was obviously only to be enforced for us. (Otherwise, they would have eliminated all tables with less than 5 patrons). It did not make any sense. We then decided to leave and spend some 150€ elsewher...
Almost hidden in the corner of the square, by the abbey, is a little gem of a restaurant. The day was sunny, but so gusty that the waiter emerged backwards and crouching from inside, cradling our salads to prevent them blowing into the beautiful old tree in whose shade we sat. Successfully delivered, they were fresh, well-dressed and plentiful. The wine was good, too, and both very well priced. It’s a relatively new and small-scale operation, we learnt, so arrive early and you’ll be well looked after. It’s worth going inside to see the startling living wall by the bar.
Depending which tables you choose in the square, will determine which restaurant you are served by. I suggest trying La source, the outer tables closest to the entrance to the town from the top carpark. I have twice had the chicken salad with a cold beer, and it was fresh and delish! My partner loved the foie gras salad too. One of the few places to serve a healthy salad in town... I loved sitting in the square enjoying my fresh lunch, refreshing beer, and the atmosphere of this lovely French village!
In the shade of a 150 years old Sycamore tree, eating a traditional Cassoulet (hot!!! accompanied with a nice cold strong trappist beer is not a punishment ; We had a refined paté dish as a starter, so there was absolutely no room for a dessert anymore... Friendly staff and friendly prices.
Simple food under a large tree (150 years old), sipping coffee, friendly staff. What else can you wish for...? Prices are very reasonable.
