Honest French cooking and a sunny terrace on Place Grandclément
If you're looking for a no-nonsense meal on Place Grandclément, Aux Amitiés Gourmandes is where you want to be. Klevis and his team serve up classic French dishes — the confit lamb and the lasagna get mentioned again and again by regulars — and the portions are generous without being excessive.
