"Jeudi 7 août, j’ai eu le plaisir de manger un burger sûrement le meilleur de ma vie, et mon mari a pris une croustade de boudin blanc dont il parle encore tant c’était délicieux. Les petites serveuses sont si gentilles et attentionnées, la patronne qui est en cuisine cuisine avec amour et ça se sent, et même la jeune fille en cuisine met tout son cœur dans son travail. On se sent bien chez eux, comme à la maison, et on repart le cœur léger et le sourire aux lèvres."

"Nous avons diné dans cet endroit, "L'Escale", à Fumay, vous êtes accueillis par le serveur sympathiques et très aimable. Je vous conseille les linguines aux scampis, un vrai délice ainsi que le jambonneau. Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Merci le cuisinier, le service est impeccable. Les assiettes sont servies avec des produits frais. Lieux très sympathique, à refaire lors d'un prochain passage. Je vous recommande cette adresse."
