Husband-and-wife team Roxane and Jean Sévègnes run this bijou bistro together, bringing traditional French cuisine to a modern audience - weekdays only so the tiny team (just the two of them) can enjoy some time off together! Chef Jean has worked at Bernard Pacaud's Ambroisie and Alain Ducasse, among many respected names, and in Café des Ministères he truly fulfils the promise of his impressive CV. Go for the Gascony pork and chicken liver terrine, Drôme snails, Normandy scallops, calf’s head, tripe, and their famous vol au vent ‘Grande Tradition’. This is the place to eat true French food without breaking the bank.
