The hamburger (pictured above) with Bearnaise sauce was by far the most novel and interesting of the dishes we tasted. The bun was homemade, possibly coming from the same source as the rest of the baked goods, La Residence. To its credit, this restaurant stays open all day and throughout the evening without a break. Although the food is far from outstanding it is a good place to go, especially for lunch, once you have discovered the particular dishes you favor.
Hachis Parmentier was certainly not a stand-out dish but went down quite easily
Blanquette de Veau was not up to standards, bound with a gluey flour-laden sauce
Sorbet
Apple Tart

An example of old and new; the old, dial telephone is fitted with push buttons
The check-in process is painless with a drink in front of you; no necessity to stand at a registration counter
