Thank god we booked, all others were taken!I had the chicken terrine, and then a burger, €15.50; great value for money. The terrine was course, served with a sweet onion chutney, and a small salad. Beautiful.For main I had the burger, topped with Emmental cheese and peppercorn sauce. Cooked rare, it was juicy and full of flavour; a touch on the small side, but sufficient for most appetites. I was disappointed when I'd finished it because it was so delicious! I could have eaten two...!I passed on dessert, as I was out for dinner in the evening too.Lovely ladies serving, who were intent on practicing their English; I wanted to practice my French...so we swapped languages! Very friendly and welcoming; a real good laugh.Highly recommended. I will return when next in the area.
