Chez Diane

We eat most of our meals at Chez Diane, the restaurant in the S&M Motel.  It serves an excellent variety of delicious local specialities and old favourites made with fresh ingredients.  Always close at hand, it offers European flavours and homemade charm. And the service is excellent.

One thought on “Chez Diane

  1. I’m thinking “Chez Diane” is the place to be when dining in Europe! I know of a similar place here but it is ‘closed until further notice’ perhaps in 2013 sometime.
