"Lovely place near the Port. Get there early if you haven't made a reservation. They provide blankets if cool, as it was last night. 16.50€ Bistro menu was great value for 3 courses. I had Charcuterie, Duck then cheese to finish. Wine by the glass was good also. Only mark down, was slowish service, but the place was rammed!!"

The menu varies to the week and the season, so be sure to ask about the specials and get a recommendation.

"Fantastic place - we were lucky to get a table as hadn't booked. Whilst we were eating people were queuing to get in - not surprising as it's an amazing place. Really friendly staff who work incredibly hard - very very busy! Between us we had oysters, octopus, magret de canard, steak, and desserts. Could not fault any of it - beautiful quality, perfectly cooked, amazing presentation. Delicious! We immediately booked our return visit."
