However, on a Sunday evening, when the only other options open were take-out food and bars- it was the best open option in the middle of the old city with an easy parking lot nearby for travelers just stopping through. Food quality was great for the price. The Tour du Jour at 15€ was a great deal for salad, and meat and veggie dish, and a fruit cup dessert. Service was friendly and efficient, and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

It was a sunday and the town was pretty much dead. This place here looked good and offered outdoor-seating with some shade and allowed dogs outside. Since it was so hot, we weren't overly hungry. First we ordered some Ricard with Ice, which was very refreshing. Our dog got a bowl of cold water, which the nice waiter brought. Then we shared a salad: Rustique XL. And that was surprisingly good. Greens, potatoes, tomatoes, bacon, cheese and poached eggs and bread. Really enough for us to share. It's more like a meal than a salad, in a good way!

Le chef propose des plats où produits du terroir et grands crus de l'Auxerrois filent la parfaite harmonie, comme le filet de boeuf bourguignon ou la blanquette de sandre à l'ancienne. Pour un final bien sucré, le chariot gourmand constitue un véritable assortiment de desserts. Quant au service, la discrétion et l'efficacité jouent une partition rodée et sans fausses notes.
