What’s the vibe?
A do-it-all kind of place serving gourmet menus for affordable prices, coffee and cake in the afternoon, and with a little shop and library on-site in case your dining companions are boring you. The on-street terrasse is a delight, go in good weather.
What should I order?
All of the produce is locally sourced, so the (short) menu changes all the time, but there’s always one veggie main and one meat or fish. Grab a cookie to go — pink praline is a particularly Lyonnais choice.
Time Out tip
Keep the evening going: there’s a cracking wine bar over the road. Odessa Comptoir serves largely natural wines.
