La nourriture est rustique aussi : des tartiflettes, des pierrades, des fondues, rien que de la mangeaille reconstituante entre deux randonnées sur le Mont-Cenis ou dans les rues de Poitiers (parfois pentues elles aussi...). La fondue des cimes : de la bonne viande de boeuf vient bouillir dans le poêlon rempli d'une huile savamment assaisonnée. Les trois sauces accompagnantes sont faites maison... Un délice. Petit conseil : réservez avant d'aller vous attabler, car le restaurant est très convoité.

They were busier than they had the staff to manage. The food we gave about a 5/10 as nothing was really wonderful like we expected.

Although the menu prices may be in the higher end, the restaurant offers excellent fixed price options that are not only budget friendly but leave your palate happy and your stomach satisfied. On this day, we had the duck confit, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and falling off the bone. We also ordered the cod, which came w a buttery white sauce that complimented the fish very well. For dessert we had a strawberry "mouse", which was light and more of a yogurt consistency but simply delicious. Coffee came with some small pastry bites that were a great ending to the meal.

The restaurant, on the rue des Grandes Écoles, is in the middle of everything, right off the central square by the Mairie, and has a local ambiance.

My husband had the vegetarian burger with eggplant and goat cheese, which he absolutely loved. The burgers came with french fries and a little salad. My vegan burger was tasty as well, but it lacked a little bit of something creamy like perhaps some avocado. I found it a bit on the dry side and I'm not one to splash ketchup and mayonnaise all over. Service was friendly and good. We were also served a big bottle of water, didn't have to ask for that. Even though we both ordered a drink as well. The music they played was mainly 70s soul and funk, it created a nice atmosphere.
