L'Ancienne Auberge

Nice outdoor tables in the back of the restaurant. One of best Spritz I ever had. Food was good however service is deficient. Long waiting and not synchronized meal/ wine which is simply not ok for this kind of restaurant.

We were booked into the main restaurant for dinner so took the kids here for dinner beforehand. Service was friendly and food was good quality and arrived quickly. Would go back for a full meal if in the area.
