First, to be clear: this is a place without pretensions, with a downstairs level that serves the busy tourist traffic in front of the Abbey church. But it offers some very satisfying and unexpected dinner options, and we would happily try it again. The buckwheat galette – a kind of crepe with a savory filling – was crispy and flavorful, and made a generous meal. The pouti is something we 'd never come across before, a somewhat bready cousin of a terrine, made with pork, bacon, chard and prunes, served sliced and heated to develop a little crust around the edges. Delicious. The salad was massive, tasty and fresh. Even the house red wine was considerably better than the vintage bottle of the same variety that we had at a more pretentious place in town. The hard cider was also good. The server was very patient and friendly while serving a slightly rowdy group of English-speaking tourists at the next table. (This was also a good place for an ice cream on a hot afternoon.
