A few days letter we came back for a proper lunch. We chose a toasted camembert with honey and green salad, a plate with vegetarian dishes, haddock with cockles plus vegetables and for the desert a pear and chocolate crumble. We drank red organic wine. Good points : - Different interesting organic wines - Local food (vegetables, bread, butter etc.). For example cheese from the fromager affineur Sten Marc's - Lovely place, welcoming and authentic. The garden is charming and the second room super lightly. - Agreeable staff, thoughtful and which give good advice To be improved : - The place is open as a wine bar but it is more a restaurant. We arrived at 6 PM and it was obvious that the preparation of the diner was the priority for the staff. We had quiet the feeling to disturb the preparation of the following meal. - Only one veggy dish. Moreover even if the turnips, the cabbage, the carrots were delicious and even if the pumpkin soup was tasty the dish had too much (good) potatoes. - The seasonings have to be improved. - The dessert was good but not outstanding. The pear was perfectly cooked and the chocolate was not over sugared but the crumble mix was OK.
