“ worth a vist and a great town ”
“ Popped in here for lunch on a quick stop during a long drive. Wasn't expecting much but was extremely pleased with the quality and service for such a small price. Not quite restaurant standard, but amazing value for money. The set lunch menu (shown in pic)- we had the Surimi, steak (with bread basket) and creme brulee, it also comes with a coffee - and they even bought out an assortment of cheeses. Add a beer and glass of wine.. bill was around €17. Superb - highly recommended for a bite ”

Un petit resto qu on aimerait avoir en Mayenne On manquera pas de revenir à notre prochain passage,en attendant bonne continuation à toute l' équipe. ”
“ A honest working people's diner. Good, heavy duty food with plenty local options. Be warned: regional plates may be difficoult to translate, especially for Google; you may have... sourprises. Good ones (it seems to be quite hard to eat badly in France), but sourprises nevertheless. If you are a picky eater, you can put yourself in a risky position. Service is over the top (free water, cider, red wine; self-service cheese plate). The place is well-worn, and the owner salutes other clients with "see you tomorrow!". Most of them have a van parked outside, not a car. And the kitchen closes at 13:45 for a reason: everyone is back at work. ”
“ Très bon rapport qualité / prix : repas complet à 14,8 euros, entrée, plat, fromage, dessert, café, cidre ou vin. Bon café Couple sympathique et vif. Petite remarque : manque une cloche sur le plateau de fromages. ”
“ Not the best quality of the food, but the price, location, good ambience and fast service was completely worth it to me ”
“ Only stopped for coffee, but pleasant service, clean and tidy bar restaurant, the menu for midi looked very good. ”
