This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
There’s a choice of view in Le Sept – the vintage posters or, on the opposite wall, black and white photos. As for the menu, your choice is between French classics such as moules frîtes with tomato or white wine and cream, savoury and sweet crêpes and omelettes, and seasonal variations and daily specials. Start with queenie scallops prettily presented on the shell or the rich, thick onion soup. Tartiflette – potato and leek baked in a creamy sauce with Reblochon cheese – with a side salad is a satisfying alternative to meat-rich dishes like coq au vin or beef daube. The lunchtime croque is a substantial toast sandwich of bacon and cheese, served with salad and chips. After this richness, sorbet is light and refreshing, the lemon crêpe sharp and tart. With three red and three white wines in half bottles as well as as nine wines by the glass, Le Sept provides an affordable taste of France in the centre of the Old Town.
- High point: Friendly, all ages welcome
- Low point: Not for a long, lingering lunch
