Really lovely fresh food served inside or in a lovely garden setting. The restaurant is amongst a number of antique shops set off the road. It pays to book ahead as Le Carre d'Herbes is very popular with locals and tourists.

Although it doesn't stay open terribly late, Stephane's offers a great selection of wine and delicious cheeses less that 5 minutes walk away, if you don't get distracted by the other lovely shops, bars and ice-creameries along the way! Stephane is always there to help select a bottle and a piece of cheese to take away and offers a lovely selection to share inside or sitting around the wine-barrel tables in the street.
