Une jolie terrasse ombragée sur la place, parfait pour un déjeuner au calme. Les assiettes sont très très très copieuses et la cuisine simple mais bien faite. Le personnel est sympathique, tout se déroule en douceur. Je recommande sans hésiter pour un repas tranquille et généreux à un tarif défiant toute concurrence!

Mon avis est pour le côté restauration, un peu en retrait de la route, ce qui apporte le calme et endroit ombragé ; plat du jour copieux pour 10 euros et surtout boeuf angus excellent à la cuisson maîtrisée ; servi avec légumes, salade et frites ; la carafe d'eau fraîche apportée d'office est un vrai plaisir par ce temps, et la dame qui servait était agréable et efficace ! Jolie découverte
