Burger Lounge

$
This cozy basement lounge and pub features minimalist decor—small, wooded high-top tables, bar seating, and a large couch—that lets the burgers shine. Diners get a choice of a single or double burger, made with local meat and toppings—bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato—and the whole thing is served on a freshly baked bun from local patisserie Taillens. A vegetarian falafel burger, a small selection of salads, and fries round out the menu.

Le Verre à Pied

$

It's a tight squeeze to get into Old Town's popular caveau-oenothèque (wine bar–cum–store) Le Verre à Pied, where 180 regional vintages are poured seven days a week. Light snacks like local cheese and meats, tapenade, and foie-gras toasts are available. For a few euros you can join winemakers and enthusiasts who swill and sip (often while taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi connection).

Taillens

$

This overflowing tearoom with exquisite pastries is a must-stop before or after an activity-packed day. Run today by the third generation of the Taillens family, this landmark is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Light meals—salads, soups, and sandwiches—keep service clipping along at a fast pace. Toss aside the calorie counter and peruse the dessert cases for a decadent concoction of chocolate, fruit, sugar, and whipped cream. There are now three additional locations in town as well as Le Farinet, the family's more formal Mediterranean restaurant.
