The new Le Moissonnier has what it takes to become your favourite restaurant: excellent food and bags of charm! In a lovely, bustling interior replete with charming Art Nouveau features, diners are seated at closely spaced tables. Obliging hosts Liliane and Vincent Moissonnier and their friendly team take good care of their guests. Chef Eric Menchon proposes a range of small and larger dishes, including great French bistro classics such as pâté en croûte, fish soup, oysters and mussels.
