Our verdict

Seventy years of history endorse this rustic restaurant with stone walls, wood features and linen-draped tables. Updated traditional cuisine made with high-quality ingredients. The à la carte menu is quite short but well structured. Delicious and varied lunchtime set menu as well as a tasting menu. Stellar dishes include snails, steak tartare, rice, cod cheeks and tripe. A classic that doesn’t disappoint.
