La Cordonnerie: fresh products cooked right in front of you

 

Chef Hugo Wolser is at the helm.

Just like his father and grandfather, he runs the place and does the cooking in front of his guests. Nothing is prepared in advance.

Everything is cooked to order, and Hugo Wolser likes to go to the market himself, so it's all seasonal produce, and fresh every morning.

If you’re hoping for quick service you might be disappointed. This is a family restaurant where everything is cooked to order, which takes time.The menu contains just a few classic French dishes, mainly meat-based. As an entrée you might choose cucumbers in cream (€7), andouille de Guéméné sausage (€8) or duck terrine (€8).


Mains include an excellent grilled Aubrac entrecote steak (€25) and a fine entrecote with shallots (€25). I decided to go for the excellent grilled AAAAA-rated Andouillette sausage with Fallot mustard and house fries.The portions are generous and the presentation is simple.There’s a charming family atmosphere and you get service with a smile. 
You come out of the restaurant not having made any great culinary discovery, just with the sense of having had a pleasant meal in a warm, cosy environment and eaten traditional simple food expertly prepared from good produce.
