A lively terrace wine bar for customizable cheese and charcuterie boards with quality products, great vibe, and uneven service; good value if you compose smartly, but portions can feel light.
Le 17. 45 delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by exceptional terrace appeal overlooking the town hall and strong food quality in curated cheese and charcuterie boards. However, inconsistent execution—particularly service slowdowns during sunny peaks and occasional portion concerns—prevents grade A territory.
The terrace sits right by the town hall, where trees throw pockets of shade over tables and neighbors gather for wine and boards. Reviews describe service that can be warm and attentive off-peak, with a vibe that is lively and convivial when the sun is out. One diner summed it up: "Best spot on the square for a relaxed platter and drink." The cooking leans classic French apéro style—quality cheeses, cured meats, and a few warm comforts like baked camembert—more about good products than fireworks. You can compose your own board or pick a signature set; value depends on choices and crowd levels. Monday brings Savoyard fondue, a hit for atmosphere though some found the "unlimited" claim inconsistent. For families, the board format actually works: kids often enjoy simple cheese, ham, and bread. The menu shows many vegetarian items and vegan-leaning sides, but sweets are limited and portions can feel modest. If you need hearty mains or desserts for children, plan to supplement with extras or visit earlier when service is steadier.
