You know when you show up in a medieval village and wonder what it would feel like to belong there?…read moreWell wonder no more! This darling lunch spot welcomes regulars and first time visitors with open arms and delicious un-fussy food. There's a new menu handwritten on the chalk board every day consisting of one vegetarian and one meat option, so it's like being invited to a friend's house--if they're incredible cooks you don't have to ask what they're making to accept an invitation to their house--you're always in the mood for whatever they feel like serving. And that includes an appetizer and dessert, which we managed (OK, practically licked the plate) despite being perfectly content after the mains. Lunch is whipped up by one Fred, and served by the other Fred! It's served between noon and 2 PM on a comfortable shady patio (or an indoor dining area in inclement weather). Ideally there are two seatings (noon and 1:30), though if it's not a super busy day they can accommodate guests who are not locked into those times. Reservations are accepted (and appreciated).

Although they were short on staff when we were there, the food came out reasonably fast. You get excellent value here. The atmosphere is a casual courtyard terrace, next to the cathedral, away from the more boisterous parts of the city center.
