A Hearty Meal on a Cold Rainy Day (reblogged from June 2013)

I haven't been eating too well due to adjustments and the fact that the university residence is far from town and there isn't much that one can do when the kitchen's not equiped with utensils. Well, I decided to go for a good meal in town and I remembered having dined in a little restaurant in a hidden corner: Le Café Café. Strange name, even by French standard. The food can be described as simple and hearty with a touch of regional flavour but the setting is as French bistro as it can get...lunch starts at 12 sharp (I was early) and the service was friendly and quite efficient. One thing is that French restaurants always have very tight spots that do not allow much moving spaces and people really have to eat quite close to each other...


 Entrance to the restaurant is really hidden from general view in the street...

 Chose a small and comfy corner...

 Simple but nice decor...


 The tiny bar counter...



 Serving table where bread and desserts of the day are being kept...


 The waiter will explain the menu to you in details before you choose...


 Ordered the Filet Mignon de Veau with wild mushrooms and risotto.

Cup of tea to finish...
