A stunning little French Cafe in the heart of Wirksworth. The staff were friendly and attentive as well as being extremely accommodating. The menu is wonderfully full of French classics as well as extremely well-labelled vegan, veggie and gluten-free options. The food was divine and the portion sizes generous. Even the drinks selection was brilliant with a huge choice of wines as well as a good European beer selection. The prices were as to be expected of a restaurant but the Sunday and week day offers made very reasonable. There was a lamp post outside the window making a good spot for locking bikes in view of our table. Would recommend the Tarte au Chocolat which was incredible.
