Au Bout de l'Île comes across as a warm, welcoming spot where guests notice friendly staff, a cozy vibe, and a clean, pleasant setting that invites relaxation whether alone or with company. The menu gets praise for tasty and varied options from breakfast through lunch, with particular mentions of sandwiches, ice cream and gelato, and a charming atmosphere suited to a leisurely meal by the canal. Service is described as attentive and helpful most days, though on very busy periods timing can be slower and a few readers point to limited restrooms and air circulation, plus the terrace needing more shade. Overall, the place feels like a reliable neighborhood favorite with reasonable prices and consistent quality that encourages return visits for good food and the friendly mood.
Café-Bistro is not bad all in all. The main problem seems to be a lack of attention regarding the only restroom, which is definitely not enough (toilet doesn't work properly ir not at all, hand tissue - if there is - is put on soaky counter instead of replaced in its unit. We used to come more often & stopped going for a while, thinking they'd improved the facilities & removed their old & super stained carpet. Unfortunately, they didn't, & it became worse. One other comment we made to them years ago concerns the lack of air circulation. The only fan is in their larger dining room & hardly supplies enough air. It is very unpleasant to stay inside during the summer. The terrasse is nice; but again, there are not enough umbrellas! Let's hope they'll try their best & go ahead with those little, but important though not so much expensive improvements 😉
After a long cycling, I wanted to have a latte in this small cute city. The Google maps recommended me this place & I give it a try. The place looks cozy & unique with the old style house. There are do many of ice cream & gelato selection inside. There's also a breakfast & lunch selection for those that want to have a meal in the morning & afternoon. The Latte taste good, although a little bit watery, but their ice cream was good (forgot to take a picture). The outside balcony is also nice for those that ride a bike to here & alone, & also want to keep an eye for your bike for those that don't bring any bike locks.
Belle découverte pour un repas avec ma meilleure amie. La soupe au tomates & légumes était vraiment bonne & que dire du sandwich au thon gratiné ! Le service était aussi impeccable.
Potatoes were amazing (they seemed stir fried with onions), but remaining options were just ok. Service was very slow on the day, not sure if they were understaffed though... the place (old wooden design) & the view from there are really nice & worth the stay on its own.
Belle place pour déjeuner, nous y allons à vélo à tous les week-ends. Rapport qualité prix exceptionnel, vraiment excellent! Merci à Oscar & Lidia pour votre chaleureux accueil comme d'habitude!

Restaurant familial & local d'une grande qualité. Le service est courtois & impeccable & la nourriture est délicieuse.
Leur gâteau carotte-ananas est absolument divin! Nous y retournons régulièrement.
Lovely atmosphere, & a great quiet place for a Sunday brunch. The menu is very diverse, with a lot of great options. Only downside is that the service was very slow.
Bon rapport qualité/quantité prix. Les serveurs étaient gentilles & polies mais il manque clairement d'organisation dans ce restaurant. Les jeunes serveuses avaient l'air livrées à elles-mêmes & tentaient de faire au mieux mais il y avait beaucoup de clients & personne ne semblait véritablement gérer les opérations. La terrasse est sympathique par contre attention aux guêpes.
Around here, probably the best coffee shop serving expresso & capuccino, albeit very basic. A tiny terrace with 3 tables allows you to have some sunshine while sipping your favorite drinks. You pay, & the server will bring drinks up to your table.
