I went here for lunch the other day, and it was "not bad"...
... but not as great as their happy hour, which I discovered after some lamb and burgundy.
Farewelling my friends, and having a cleansing ale with the newspaper, I chatted to the bartender Damien (aka "Zizi", which I believe means something to do with a little penis), who recommended while in his alpen home in France (where I'll be in a few weeks) I visit "Le Cafe de la Place" in Menthon Saint Bernard (Annecy) - which does a $20 lunch with entree, main, dessert, coffee and wine.
The specials here, though not quite as good as what I'm hearing of en France, are still pretty good. $15 for a half a dozen freshly shucked (if small - but just delish) oysters with a pot of tap beer... if you do it during happy hour, you might find yourself upgraded to a schooner - which in this instance I chose a dark ale.
Well, at those prices in Melbourne, who could say no?
