Delightful, small French restaurant. Staff very attentive. Food - rabbit bonbons starter was delicious, quite filling. My companion, who likes his meat gave the steak a thumbs up. The duck, served with green beans and mash. was flavoursome and tender. The bottle of red from Languedoc was good. I look forward to going there again.
