"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!!"
