Michelin Guide rating

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking.
Good standard.

Lovely restaurant tucked away in a little street below the chateau. Obviously very popular and is a very attractive place to eat out. Has a Michelin sign at entrance but didn't quite hit those heights in terms of service, for us anyway. Definitely a cut above the norm however and well worth a visit.
