La Pastasciutta is a sweet family restaurant beloved by St. Aubin’s residents. The interior decorations are amazingly homely, with rustic wooden tables, old clothes hanging from the ceiling along a clothesline as if left out to dry, and the piece de resistance, a wood-fired oven. La Pastaciutta is especially popular with local students for two obvious reasons: the reasonable prices and the size of the pizza. You can order either small, medium, or large, and the large is absolutely massive. On the other end of the spectrum, the small is just right for a personal pizza or a snack split between friends. A small pizza and a glass of wine come in at around 10 Euro, a hard deal to beat.

6. Les Salles Grosses

Restaurant, French, European, Vegetarian

Les Salles Grosses is a tiny, unexpected gem. This little restaurant proves that big things come in small packages, as its equally tiny kitchen whips up a gourmet meal you won’t soon forget.
