Came here on a wet October evening, with plans to visit Monet’s garden next morning. Charmed by the history but didn't expect much – nothing else was open in the vicinity, and to be honest having had lunch earlier we only wanted a light meal. It was a lovely surprise. The service was absolutely charming – smiling young men eager to help. My husband had an omelette – they must have used the entire flock’s output for the day it was so big. I had agneau brochette that was beautifully caramelised on the outside, pink inside, with a very good glass of burgundy (Chateau Lacombe Noaillac), followed by a Café Liegeois and coffee with calvados. T’was all delicious and a fair price too and although we ended up being the only ones in the room we felt no pressure to hurry or leave. We popped back next day after our Giverny visit for another coffee – young man looked up when we entered, smiled and said “Cafe et calvados?” I’d go back, not so much for the food although it was good but for the history represented by the place – it really does feel as if it hasn't changed since Monet’s day and you expect a gaggle of American artists to burst through the doors and demand food, wine, brandy and coffee any moment - and the excellent service of the staff.
