The owner of this gently old-fashioned, small-town bistro is a maestro in the kitchen as he sizzles, boils and fries delicious and authentic French countryside meals with just a pop of Madagascar about them. People come from far and wide to eat here and the foie gras is popular. The bar is an enjoyable spot for a predinner aperitif.
