Bistro meal in the city centre
This is another good choice for lunch in the city centre, whether you want just a light snack or a full meal. Tables are on two floors; the ground floor serves lighter café-style items such as coffee, pastries and sandwiches, and is counter service, while the first floor is more like a bistro and has full table service. You can only reserve tables on this latter floor, and as the place is popular you’ll need to come early if you want to eat in the café, or be prepared to queue.
On our recent visit there was a line out of the door for a table in the café, but several available upstairs where we wanted to eat, even though we hadn’t booked. The menu is chalked up on a board and includes several bistro favourites such as moules marinieres, pasta dishes and a steak sandwich. There is also a daily specials menu and we both chose from that – I had a delicious warm goats cheese and puy lentil salad while Chris had a steak burger with Swiss cheese and string fries. He drank mineral water (he was going to be driving later) and I had a small glass of rioja. The meal cost £20.20 (service not included) which I thought was good value for such tasty food and the pleasant service we received. The bistro attracts quite a mixed clientele – we saw an older couple, a family and several groups of friends all enjoying the food there. Highly recommended!
