We've been here before, shortly after we moved here, but I can't find the date. Have been trying to get back, and finally made it for Valentine's Day. We didn't have the Valentine's Day Menu; it was too expensive (€95pp) and too big. Instead we had the daily menu (only €52) with a choice of several starters, mains, and desserts, plus aperitif, cheese, wine, and coffee or tea. Ed started with a brandade of morue with a bit of smoked salmon; I had a poached egg sitting on a mixture of tortoise meat and veg, swimming in watercress sauce. For a main, Ed had pigs' cheeks lacquered with honey and pineau, three big chunks of meat. I had saddle of rabbit stuffed with chestnuts and something else I've forgetten. All tasty and presented beautifully. Then a long wait till the cheese trolley came around. Very nice things there. For dessert, Ed had different ice creams in profiteroles, and I had a sort of mousse of hazlenuts with crème Anglaise and little balls of pear. Coffee and tisane were accompanied by some very alcoholic cherries and mini brownie muffins. All good, but a bit much to eat.

The plat du jour was €20 today. Perhaps because it's a holiday. That included starter (salmon and leeks in little lattice-topped tarts with a bit of lettuce), main (chicken yassa with rice), two cheeses with some lettuce, a pear dessert, coffee, and wine. It was okay, but nothing special. We had the idea that most of these dishes were the kind of pre-prepared dishes that have been giving restaurants a bad name of late. (Supposedly some kind of labeling may be required of restaurants before long.)

This restaurant is open with new owners, Laurent and Marie, although we never ate there before. Kaye went to a ladies' lunch there and the food was reasonable, worth another try. The vegetarian offering was a wonderful vegetable lasagna, mostly vegetables with a very light sauce.
Hours are from 7.30am until the last person leaves. Open 7 days a week, serving a €12.90 plat du jour and a la carte as well as snacks.
