  What a hidden gem cannot recommend enough the food was delicious the service friendly, swift and efficient. Our waitress was knowledgeable and spoke good English but did appreciate our efforts in French which gave you the confidence to try more. I so wish we had found this restaurant on our 1st night in Blaye because it was wonderful would highly recommend knocks spots of the god awful restaurant (la petite port which should be avoided like the plague) we had the misfortune to visit on our 1st night. Cest la vis!

  Charming restaurant, very fresh food and excellent service. We had moules frites which tasted delightful and very fresh as well as the fries. The wine was crisp and coffee fantastic. The service was lovely, the lady was very attentive. Highly recommend!

  It is a nice place to have lunch when visiting the citadel because the location is nice and peaceful when you sit outside. It’s shaded (handy on those sweaty hot days). The staff is very friendly, but do not give the best service. Also the kitchen could do a better job. The entree (tomato salade with goat cheese cream) was simple but good, you also can’t expect much more when paying only 12,5 for a 2 course lunch. Unfortunately they forgot about our second course and after waiting for a good 45 minutes the waitress came and asked if we wanted dessert, so we kindly let het know we were expecting our steaks. It was busy but we could clearly notice they just forgot about us. When I got mine, which I ordered “saignant”, it was even more cooked than “a point”. I didn’t feel like waiting 15minutes for another one after the long wait we’ve already had, so I ate it. Fries are mediocre and the accompanying salad was simple, but again… what do you expect for a 12,5euro lunch. They had some beers on the menu which I hadn’t had before which was nice. Coffee (espresso) was ok. Overal this is not a bad place in a touristy environment and I would rather give them a 3,5 stars if I could. But I can’t and 4 is just too many. So 3 stars it is.
