It's not typical food in the cantine at the cafe! For lunch there's a whole spread of food that's as good as any fancy restaurant in the states. Fresh french bread, big selection of fresh local cheeses (we are in the regional of brie cheese, yum!), all kinds of cold appetizers in little cute plates, sinful looking desserts, fresh yogurts, tarts. After all this you then get to the entrees (yikes) and they usually have a 3 selections of meat and fish with different sauces. The cook is named Martine and she makes everything herself. The food is so great and I loved her sauces. Lunch is not a 15 minute rush here. I didn't see any sandwich selections in case you wanted a quick lunch. You eat your big meal and once everyone at your table is done eating someone will say "coffee?", then they bring a tray of little cups filled with some strong coffee. Michael loves the dessert here so he had a personal goal to try every dessert selection in the fridge before we leave.
One day we all had some fresh cherries (they look like the bing cherries, light in color) because they were picked from the chef's garden!
