No criticism really. Perhaps could lay out the menu a little more clearly I.e. Indication where the galettes start and finish. Perhaps a box outline around them. Everyone very helpful and pleasant. Chairs nice and comfortable. Have been twice recently and really enjoyed. Certainly be back. Love your booking system. Thank you - very nice experience.

It became drafty as a second door kept being left open. Was all very nice but the crepe was a little non existent and the sauce a bit meagre and a bit thin and tasteless. Perhaps the sauce just was so think it soaked into the crepe and it became nothing. However that is being critical - it was really very nice.

Was busier than I expected and therefore more noisy. I believe this was partly because there was a group of French speakers there who come for regular meetings. On the other hand it was good to see the cafe well patronized!

The food here is delicious and well priced. Great position by the lake and easy parking. Only one other table of customers, possibly due to the early closing, which has negative effect on the ambience. A shame as with such great food it should be packed to the gunnels.
