17/05/2026: Passing through the region with friends. A restaurant with cold colors, reflecting the owner's personality, I suppose. We had a reservation for 13 on Ascension Thursday. We arrived at 11:54 am and the owner told us curtly, without a smile, that service didn't start until noon and that we had to wait outside on the terrace. Then, at 11:57 am, she opened the door to tell us to come in and went to the kitchen, sighing.
We had to ask for an aperitif. The set menu, while fine for adults, was difficult for a teenager, so she only had one starter: a charcuterie platter, as there were no changes. Otherwise, it was either potato salad with herring or breaded pig's trotters. For the main course, there was cassoulet, daube, or andouillette sausage.
On the plus side, the food is homemade and excellent. For me, the pig's trotters were amazing, and the cassoulet was also delicious. For my friends, the rest was also excellent. The homemade desserts were very good, and the service is good when the cooks come by, certainly the owner and another smiling lady.
I saw the comments, and indeed, if you're not used to it, the welcome is just okay. The owner was sick with a lung problem. But hey, a smile 🙂
I hope the owner will take the feedback into account and do some self-reflection.
I was a waitress for 20 years, and a smile is definitely essential.
