In the center of this rural commune, the house, extended by a veranda and a small garden, is set in very pleasant surroundings, with its astonishing 13th-century chapel and, a stone's throw away, a bucolic lake. The room, not very large, is charmingly simple. On a few evenings a week, the chef indulges himself and us with a unique menu that goes a little upmarket, while the weekday lunches are delightful and demonstrate a keen sense of cooking and pairing. The menu is classic, with, for example, a lovely bisque of scampi, colorful and tasty, accompanied by a creamy curry sauce. As for the saithe, it's boosted by a frothy butter with cockles.
