Young chef Denis Fétisson has brought Roger Vergé’s baby back to its former glory. Set in an old mill, it’s considered casual in these parts, but comes with chandeliers and breathtaking views. Various fixed-price meals let you shape your culinary experience, but the underlying theme is classic French. Lunch menus (€22 including wine, coffee and mini-desserts) offer outstanding value.
