Chez Tante Yvonne, place Genty-Pantaly.tel 0490720254. Closed Sunday evening and Wednesday off-season.
Specialities in this gentle place: lapereau a la sauge, quenelles d’ecrevisses or pieds-paquets. Some guide advised me to avoid the ice creams and sorbets, rather insipid. I ignored the warning and I regretted that I didn’t listen to the wise advice ;-) Menus for several prices between 21 and 36.75 €.  
But what a slow and inefficient service! A pity….
