Le Petit Oiseau

At lunch, le petit oiseau (Le Petit Oiseau) stands out for its set meals pairing buckwheat galettes with meat dishes. On one visit, a galette filled with egg, cheese and vegetables was followed by duck, then chocolate cake and fruit with tea or coffee. The diner who described the meal recalled that the tightly rolled galette, with its cheese filling, was satisfying, while the duck had crisp skin and juicy meat. The menu also lists a galette of the day, as well as meat and fish dishes that change from day to day.

For a fish-focused meal, bouillabaisse is another option. One account describes a dish of flatfish, grunt, clams, scallops and prawns with leafy greens; its rich, buttery broth brought out the distinct flavours of the seafood. The menu also features a fish dish of the day. At lunch, drinks include tea, coffee or wine by the glass. One diner says they were helped to choose a white wine to go with their fish, while another enjoyed wine with lunch. In the evening, the menu has included draft beer and sangria alongside wine, giving diners several options to pair with their food.

French classics appear throughout the menu, from pâté de campagne and charcuterie platters to duck confit and beef cheek braised in red wine. The restaurant is small, and one visitor’s account notes that the chef runs it alone. It could suit a leisurely meal or a solo lunch.
