Le Petit Auberge

Le Petit Auberge certainly has the trappings of a cosy French bistro, but it's more than just that, with good value food and a great atmosphere, it makes for a well-rounded dining experience. The interior is rather quirky with a generous sprinkling of knick knacks that may well turn out to be a conversation piece, but that's only till the food arrives.

So make a start with those famed French crêpe stuffed with savoury fillings like ham and mushroom, and baby artichokes cooked in cream and red pesto, or if crêpe is not your thing, get adventurous with frogs legs in calvados and cream or grilled vodka marinated calamari. Sausages are sure to entice many diners, from the grilled Toulouse to the duck, orange and apricot version, whilst the kitchen team deftly combines flavours and textures to create the likes of rabbit casserole with tarragon mushrooms and mustard sauce and pan-fried boneless whole trout for main courses.

The wine list at Le Petit Auberge is headed by house white and red, available by the glass, carafe and bottle.
