"An upmarket bistro that avoids pompousness. Steaks are recommended, although sugar lovers will be most impressed by the desserts."

"As you arrive at the restaurant, what do you see?
A short stroll through a pretty kitchen garden leads to a traditional cottage with two teeny dining rooms, each with a long communal table."
