Endearingly old-fashioned, this local institution first opened its doors in 1935 and ever since has been serving reliably prepared classics such as steak aux poivre (pepper steak) and magret de canard à l'orange (duck breast in an orange sauce). The ambience is charming, with comfortable banquette seating and jazz on the sound system. The three-course lunch menu offers excellent value.
