Un café restaurant comme il n'en existe presque plus. Un accueil très sympathique, par la "patronne", comme il se doit. Des plats simples mais d'une qualité supérieure, car approvisionnés de façon traditionnelle, et élaborés sur place. Nous étions quatre. Chacun a pris un plat différent. La carte est courte, les plats du jour sont mis en vedette, et si vous arrivez trop tard, il n'y en a plus. Gage d'une préparation du jour. Chacun d'entre nous a apprécié son repas. Si vous êtes dans le quartier, n'hésitez pas. C'est bon tout simplement.

A café restaurant like no other anymore. A very friendly welcome, from the “boss”, as it should be. Simple dishes but of superior quality, because they are supplied in the traditional way and prepared on site. There were four of us. Everyone had a different dish. The menu is short, the daily specials are featured, and if you arrive too late, there are none left. A guarantee of preparation for the day. Each of us enjoyed our meal. If you are in the neighborhood, don't hesitate. It's simply good.
