A Sunday roast is also available. Common dishes include escargots, mussels, duck confit, and crème brûlée, with a wine list highlighting small, independent vineyards. It has an average rating of 4.6 from about 3,500 reviews on TripAdvisor. Booking ahead via their website or by phone is recommended for dinner.
