Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"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."
"Gestopt voor koffie, niets gegeten, maar het zag er lekker uit en het rook heerlijk! Vriendelijk personeel geholpen met route in de omgeving!"
"Petite brasserie très sympathique, le long du canal vraiment super."

"A rate find in this area: a little bar/restaurant with inside seating and seating on a nice sunny terrace right by the big river. Great for coffee & apple pie, or a good glass or even a meal. Open 10am till 10pm, except Mondays."

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."
