Fodor's Review:

For informal feasting on country fare in idyllic surroundings, this pretty spot with a lavender-fringed terrace is hard to beat. The place really shines at breakfast time with classics like eggs Florentine and Benedict, along with the usual fry-ups; on peak-season weekends cars line up waiting for the doors to the café to open. Norwegian-salmon fish cakes with tarragon-and-basil mayonnaise are good as a light lunch or a starter, whereas the butternut ravioli with a basil mousseline is richer. For a main dish, the Norwegian salmon on chive mashed potatoes with asparagus and a béarnaise sauce is a good option. Sticky pudding with star-anise caramel and vanilla ice cream is a nice way to round off the meal.
