Rôtisserie du XVI Siècle

Place du Marché Cuisines: European

About

This is a charming old inn with good food and affordable bedrooms. The building that gives this establishment its name was constructed during the 16th century on ancient Roman foundations. After a disastrous fire in the early 1990s, this place reopened as a simple, unpretentious restaurant. The delightful cuisine may include filets of perch sautéed with almonds, an array of grilled meats, and salads. The most popular offering is a two-course menu du jour, which includes an appetizer and a well-stocked main course, which changes daily. The most prevalent specialties are game hen with rosemary and entrecôte XVI Siècle, a hefty chunk of beefsteak seasoned with local herbs and served with matchstick potatoes. This is not a site for grande gastronomie -- instead, the food is straightforward, generous in its portions, and geared to popular tastes. The establishment also offers 19 simple but pleasantly furnished bedrooms, 13 with private bathroom. Doubles without bathroom rent for 150F ($123/£64), going up to 175F ($144/£75) with bathroom.
