They know how to put your pessimism in to quarantine! The dishes are truly joyful... and there is a real culinary know-how! After having dipped for a while (of which we had wind), this place got the wind back in its sails in early 2008. The starving local or even from afar bureaucrats have got it right. Budgets aren't extensible, so they arrive in full bus loads to cheer themselves up, just long enough to have a lunchtime formula at 11 €, at Stéphanie and Patrick's. There is an advantage of being near the terminus. 11 €: this shows the strength of the local price war that is going on. But it allows an imaginative chef to make the most of his oven and stand out from the crowd. If you're looking for imaginative and creative, you've knocked on the right door; Stéphanie Vallot is full of it. She cooks with modern inspiration, as joyfully as if she wanted to encourage you to go out more often! As wary as a dark corner in the night, Mauricette dared have this formula at 11 €. An ordinary sounding starter: "avocat-crevettes" (avocado pear and shrimps)! Except that there are loads of titbits surrounding the glass! 14,5/20! Her dish is super.

A nice portion of cod for a "cabillaud au crumble de noix" (cod with nut crumble) which is also full of colour thanks to the garnishing. It's very good, the cooking is mastered. 15/20. As for me, small appetites must abstain: "nems aux fruits de mer et sa bisque de crevettes" (sea food spring rolls and shrimp bisque). Three generous rolls, stuffed with hand chopped sea food. To be grabbed, tasted, bitten... and enjoyed. 15/20. Still with my fingers "gambas royales à l'ail et au persil" (king prawns with garlic and parsley). Nice, short sauces, I dig in, rub, nibble, yummy, 14,5/20. For 7 €, dessert and coffee with a "café gourmand". Home-made desserts from floor to ceiling and from crème brulé to chocolate mousse! 15/20! It is in the sweet section that you can measure this chef's know-how, notably from "Frerard" in Sofitel on the Vieux-Port. Sweets are often a chefs Calvary... and the customers! The coffee is good, the patio is "4 seasons", and Patrick opens the shellfish with passion. So, a very nice house that we recommend without any hesitation.
