About the restaurant

One kitchen and six long tables under thatch, facing the channel. There is no fixed dinner menu: what the fishermen brought in is what is served, announced late in the afternoon. Anyone with a dietary restriction says so in the morning and the kitchen works around it.

The table

Served from seven until half past nine, included in the stay.
