245. Traditional French Restaurants

By Piperade
I'm looking to build up a list of affordable restaurants from across all of France that serve food cooked in the traditional manner - using fresh ingredients, prepared and cooked in the restaurant kitchens. 
"How can I tell?" I hear you ask? You'll have to use your common sense here - look at the size of the dining room, the size of the menu and ask yourself is it likely that in the case of a menu that features 10-15 or more starters / main courses / desserts that they will all have been freshly prepared?
With the aid of a kindred spirits, I've put together a map that shows what I'm after. If you've emerged from a restaurant feeling that the taste in your mouth is that of pre-prepared food, then toss their card in the nearest bin. If, however, it's clear that you've been eating home prepared food (probably in a family-run restaurant) then I'd be grateful if you could send me the details and I'll include it on the map below. I'd need your name - let me know if you are happy for me to include it in the description, the name of the restaurant, the address & postcode, the website if you know it, the type of food served (specialities etc) and a short description that summarised your experience. Don't forget to include what someone could expect to pay, including wine and coffee. See the examples on the map.
Needless to say, I have no involvement in any way, shape or form with any of the restaurants currently listed or any listed in future.
