Just stopped by here for lunch. It's simple fare, just one plat du jours with two choices for each course, but at €16 good value, Served Blonde and IPA beer. This is a roadside cafe, but the ambiance is fantastic. Really friendly staff and a mixture of old and young customers. St Matthieu is a lovely village and the whole experience was enjoyable. We'll be back!

This is a really dinky little place which can only be described as a cross between a small pub/bistro/bar/ snack bar. They don't do meals as such, but plates of nibbles and dips, slices of jambon and saussison with lovely bread.... upscaled to however many people at your table who want to dip in. Small choice of good cider and beers plus usual spirits and soft drinks. Staff are lovely and it just feels a nice place to hang out for an hour or two.

Spent a happy couple of hours here listening to live music outside this small bar. The beer's good. It's popular, so arrive early if you want a seat.
