💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for the daily fish selection as it changes based on what the fishermen bring in from the Gironde estuary.
- Save room for the house-made desserts like tarte Tatin or lemon tart, which are often better than the savory mains.
- Arrive early or book ahead because seating is limited and tables turn quickly during lunch rush.
