About

Le 11 Bistrot Gourmand is a town-centre restaurant where cooking is first a matter of taste and generosity. The contemporary space gives a modern look to an offer faithful to the bistro spirit. It is a pleasant address for a meal for two or with colleagues, without committing to a long gastronomic evening. Stéphanie and Gilles Charpy have built a local house. Gilles works market produce and adapts his dishes to the season, while the place is known for its warm welcome. Fresh produce is the starting point for recognisable French recipes, with sides, cooking and sauces aiming for flavour rather than spectacle. The menus change, so discover the set menu of the service. A working lunch, a dinner with friends or a family outing all have their place here. Book by phone.
