The outside of this place is not very impressive, but once through the doors you will be in for a treat. Every day there is a wood fire at the back of the very large room, where the grilled meats are cooked. For the full menu you are offered a choice of cold starters, then there will be a hot starter, usually one of fish (the cassoulet is scrummy) and the other choice maybe something like gammon in sauce. There will always be at least one dish of the day. The Pot au Feu is especially good, as is the Boeuf Bourguignon. There will be a choice of meats to cook on the open fire, such as steaks, pork chops, sausages, black puddings or belly pork (petit salé). They do wonderful chips to go along with it and of course there is always bread on the table. Next comes the cheese platter that is handed to you to serve yourself and then the dessert. There is usually a good choice of mousses, creme caramel, maybe rice pudding or a home made cake or tart. Should none of these appeal then they will provide you with an ice cream cornet. It you have a corner left that needs filling then the small coffee will fill it. I haven't yet mentioned that all this is washed down with as much red vin de table and/or cider as you want. We do have vegetarian friends that have eaten there, provided we call ahead first, but the range of vegetarian food is not imaginative.
