Gilles Menier's inventive, light cuisine showcases mussels in flaky pastry flavored with chervil, foie gras with artichoke, cod with cream of coriander and a red-berry sauce, and apple crepe with cider butter. Ask for a table in the intimate wood-paneled dining room, with candles on the tables, rather than in the bustling larger hall, and take your digestif in the wood-paneled bar with its oil paintings depicting scenes from Chateaubriand's life. Excellent fixed-price menus start at EUR 16. Mme Menier
