Many choices on food. As we were a large (14+) party. We pretty much ordered everything on the menu. Nobody was disappointed in what they ordered. There was plenty of food and French bread and butter! I think we were all challenged to finish the amount of Cheese provided as part of the large prix fixe menu. You get a cheese plate AND a dessert!

Wine - a bottle between two - is included with four courses of superbly cooked food. The service is impeccable and good English spoken, though most of the clientele are local French people. The 'chariot' of cheeses is a marvel (and remember it is eaten between the plat and the desert in France!) with a baffling explanation of each of the cheeses displayed. All of this for 19 Euros - would cost at least £30 in UK. Only downside is that vegetarians are a mystery to the French and that there is not choise in the menu.
