From the black and white floor tiles and bistro chairs to the enamel signs that adorn the walls, this buzzy neighbourhood bistro oozes character. What’s more, the slate menu (more concise lineup at lunchtime) will set your tastebuds drooling: melt-in-the-mouth country pâté of wild duck with fresh green peppers or stew simmered lovingly in a rich brown sauce and served with piping hot fresh fries. The predominantly Gallic score is rolled out playfully, as are the vegetarian dishes, and every bite is followed by a wallop of gusto. Splendid lineup of local beers and natural wines. Ideal for a hearty satisfying meal without breaking the bank.
