More information on La Guinguette

Arriving at Alain Lavergnat's well established French restaurant is a calming experience. Snugly located among surprisingly dense trees, the restaurant appears welcoming but oddly isolated. Stepping inside, it is apparent the Millennium has passed La Guingette by. Well - almost. Temporary exhibitions by local artists add some 21st century colour (though not necessarily taste) to a sober, multi-roomed environment. Tables are heavily laden with dining implements, so much so, that elbow room can be quickly consumed. Service is stately but slightly stuffy and is in accord with the subdued murmur of fellow diners. The lack of animation aside, the restaurant's exhuberence is ably demonstrated by the cuisine. A la carte is available, but the richness of the chef's experience is best sampled via a menu. While not rattling the heavens with innovation, the food is an excellent example of traditional French cuisine cooked to perfection.
