Local restaurant, French classical,30,
This is a family run restaurant which I found via Michelin.
My first impressions were not that good and except for the recommender I might well have moved on. However the staff was keen and it all looked interesting enough. "Solid not spectacular" I said to my friends. And that is exactly what it was, except that we ate Grouse, which was cooked pink, gamey and served with an interesting accoutrement of cabbage stuffed with a meat and liver mix: reminiscent of haggis. Everything was well done and the service excellent.

Look at the picture near the bar: it is Le Patron looking large and splendid. I commented upon the picture and his wife called him out of the kitchen. We could all see the resemblance but the artist had used his licence to the full: not that he was not a nice guy and an accomplished chef!
