Dropped in for late snack after beach walk, staff could not be more helpful. Plenty if parking available and no wait to be seated. We shared a yummy Sirloin Steak Sandwich with crunchy chips, great flavours, tender meat. Also the Banana Smoothie hit the spot.

An amazing, cute & delicious find! Really recommend to go for breakfast, lunch or a cheeky snack! Better crepes then in Bretagne!
