Walls are draped in jasmine and tables spill out onto stairs climbing to a 17th-century church at this local favourite. The classic bistro-style menu twins French and Catalan cuisine, with crêpes, pastas, meaty mains, 'pagès' pizzas and a huge array of amanides (salads) plus local cheeses. Inside, the setting is subdued with check-print tiles and an old-fashioned marble-topped bar.
