Comfortable and convenient cafe near the Marche. There is some seating in the front but if it's…read morefull, there's more seating down a short hall to the back. On beautiful days their outside seating is always full. Coffee, tea, quick meals, and desserts can be found in abundance. There are usually two people behind the counter, one can speak English if need be. They do offer alternative milks for their drinks. We've had a few of their desserts and really enjoyed the salad we tried.

Large outside seating area for lunch or drinks in the afternoon. Service is typical french ... i.e. uninterested and slightly arrogant.

I'd recommend the Bordeaux red - a really nice wine that complements the oyster/shrimp platters. The generous cheese plate completes a really excellent meal. Lovely ambience, gives a feeling of traditional French village restaurant, which it is. Owner speaks excellent English. Highly recommended. Inside and street tables.

Highly recommend this place, plenty of room, and staff were lovely. We got caught out by portions which were huge, salads all main course rather than starters. Looking forward to my visit again next year

This cafe opened recently and has been very busy. I managed to pop in during a lull. It's neat and…read morecozy inside with enough seating for 5-6 couples and maybe three bar seats looking outwards. On nice days there is also seating outside which is terrific for folks wanting to people watch, as this location is between the major bus depot Place de Verdun and the central marche shopping area. There are sandwiches in a glass case along with pastries. A menu is on the wall and I could point to the items I wanted. The mozzarella pesto sandwich. I ordered came out looking much better than what was in the case as it was grilled panini-style. I took a bite and the center was still cold. The flat white with oatmilk was really good. When I was done I I took a small dessert item to go. It was tasty but nothing special, and it was so small I'm not certain it was worth the cost. This is a very nice cafe but there's nothing that makes it interesting. I may stop in again if I'm in the area and want a coffee to go, but otherwise there are far more unique experiences with better food options and solid coffee options nearby.

At first I wasn't thrilled with the place. It was big, crowded, and noisy. I almost left as it was…read moretoo loud inside. As I was gathering my things a very friendly waitress came so I ordered what I was there for: formule midi for 14.90€. Midi was a galette, a 1/4 cidre, and a chocolate crepe for dessert. As a vegetarian I've never done a midi before as it's usually items I don't eat. I didn't understand it was the "galette of the day" as that was not on the placard outside, so when it was explained to me that my option was ham and cheese I asked if it could be done without the ham, and that was no problem at all. They were really busy, but they put my drink on the table almost right away. The galette came out in good time and was hot and tasted great. I could have used more salad but it was fresh and dressed well. After I finished a different server came and asked if I wanted dessert. I said I had ordered the midi. She saw the little ticket on my table, said "ah oui!" and ran off. About 5 mins later the chocolate crepe came out, steaming hot. A bit about the servers: I had a different person every single time someone came to my table. They were all polite, friendly, and very quick on the uptake. Having someone new five times didn't negatively affect my experience at all. It seems they were all watching everyone and the first person to get to you made their tables turn over faster - not to mention, their overall service better. I thought this was a great deal for a meal in a tourist area. 14.90€ gets you a tasty galette, a crepe, and more than a glass of lightly alcoholic cidre to wash it all down with. I'm almost sad this isn't my favorite kind of food, otherwise I would be here daily.

A good number of tables inside and a few outside close to the street (it's a quiet road though). A sunny evening, so we sat outside, our Bulldog was very welcome as well. Mostly they offer a set-menu. Choose it with or without dessert. Only a few choices, but don't let that put you off. The cook knows what he's doing. The card changes as well (but not daily). So don't expect to see the same food as on my pics (or other reviewers). But you can be sure of one thing: It's a dinner you won't forget! The first night we've had a complementary Cazpacho for the Amuse Bouche. Then Langoustine with Langoustine broth/soup and a fresh goat cheese mousse with pepper. Fish with a caviar sauce and a steak with a red wine reduction and potato gratin. For dessert a strawberry sorbet (in shape of a strawberry) and mille-feuille with apricot ice cream. It was all a hit. All of it. When can one really say that about a multiple-course dinner? Not often...not often at all. But this here was perfection. Absolute perfection. The langoustine were fresh, tender and the soup full of wonderful seafood flavours. The goat cheese mousse was amazing. Fresh, high quality goat cheese and the right texture. With the fresh pepper a really good combination. The fish was also of high quality, very fresh. A nice cut and perfectly cooked. Exactly on the spot. And the sauce was divine with the caviar in it. The steak was so tender, it really melted on your tongue and the red wine reduction a blast of flavours, went perfectly with the meat. Desserts are not easy to do. But these here were perfect. Great ice cream, nice millie-feuille. Came back the next night (knowing the menu will be the same). It was just too good not to come back. Had a seafood soup for the Amuse Bouche this time. Bursting with flavours. And the presentation of all the dishes: It's a feast for your eyes. Every little thing isn't just decoration, it's part of the meal. And the combination of all these little items sum up to one of the best meals we've ever had. Seldomly does the look and presentation justice to the flavour. But here: It tastes as amazing as it looks. I could go on an on. If you are close to this area. Or even three hours away. Take a drive and try out this place. In a town where you'd never expect such a high quality cuisine. Staff/owner was very friendly, mostly spoke french only - but we managed (my french was a bit rusty though). Wine comes by the glass or bottle. Wine prices are fair. And the price for the meal? Without dessert 30 Euros. With dessert 35 Euros. For this 5-star food that could beat any food in any luxury restaurant. Easily. It's not just a great value...it's a steal. If you plan to dine only once in your life in France: Then this is the place. Highly recommended!
