They use local and organic ingredients to make some of the best pizzas I have had since moving to France, but the menu has more than just pizzas. It's affordable too! They do a "pizza light" which is half of any pizza and salad for 10€. The ambiance isn't your typical French feel: The indoor seating has a more Mediterranean feel to it, and the outdoor seating is beautiful and relaxed under the trees and parasols.

This place has been wonderfully revamped by the new owners. Inside has clean lines and well-used…read morespace and the outside area along the river is beautiful for the summer months. They do a great weekday menu that is excellent value and gorgeous-tasting. It is fairly typical of a workday 2-3 course menu. It begins with a fresh and beautiful buffet starter that includes prawns and cockles with an array of salads. By contrast, the weekend menu is pretty pricey, but the difference in product from the weekday plat du jour it is really incredible. The weekend plates are so well and beautifully presented to a very high standard. You won't begrudge spending the extra money for the amount and quality of food you'll receive. We have quickly become regulars here!

Great service and excellent food! We enjoy for lunch on market day--get there early though!read more

It toook a bit of time (because they cook the sausages to order) but it was brilliant! They were out of brown bread but hey, we were eating an English breakfast in France on a weekday at 10am . They also serve a gorgeous Sunday roast. The pub had been recently renovated with a massive back room for live music nights, and the bathrooms are great. (Yes, new toilets with seats, haha). They serve 3 kinds of locally brewed hand-pulled beer, and the wine and spirits list is long. All -in-all it's a brilliant addition to the town!

I've been back here recently and come out especially disappointed. I don't know what happened, and…read moreI understand that sometimes the menu du jour doesn't suit everyone, but my partner and I walked away from our most recent meal here so terribly un-satisfied that we know it will be a serious debate whether or not we will ever return. The ambiance is still wonderful, the service is great as well, but the food was HORRIBLE. It seems the menu could be a bit of Russian Roulette. Of the 4 times we've eaten here only 1 time was bad. Roll the dice if you are feeling lucky.
