Frequently asked questions

Can we come with a group?

Only in small numbers: the room has about 18 seats and two people do the cooking. Beyond 6 to 8 guests we stagger time slots or choose another venue.

What are the opening hours?

11:30 am to 4 pm, with irregular closing days announced on Instagram: we always confirm the date with the owners.

Are the galettes suitable for guests with allergies?

They are gluten-free but made from buckwheat, so they must be avoided by anyone allergic to buckwheat. We flag other allergies in advance.
