Homemade cooking at the heart of the menu
At Esperluette, everything revolves around homemade cooking. Dishes are prepared on site from fresh, mostly local produce, and the menu follows the seasons rather than a fixed set.

A friendly atmosphere and warm welcome
Reviews often highlight the kindness and professionalism of the hosts, who do a great deal for the mood of the place. Esperluette cultivates a warm bistro spirit where you quickly feel at ease, alone, as a couple or with colleagues for the lunch break. The house also offers artisanal drinks, such as local juices and beers, in the same short-supply-chain spirit. It is the kind of address you gladly return to, as much for the quality of the food as for the simple, sincere rapport with the team.
Mainly at lunch — remember to book
Esperluette is mainly a lunch spot: the house serves chiefly at midday, on weekdays, which makes it an excellent option for a quality break in the middle of a day of sightseeing or work. As the room is modest in size and the address well liked, it is best to book, especially at peak times. Since hours can vary by day and season, a call or a look at the official pages before coming avoids nasty surprises and secures a table.
