"(Translated by Google) We ate a good raclette there and were served at the scheduled time.
The place is warm with the fireplace.
For New Year's Eve, there was no set menu, and no increase in à la carte prices, which made us decide to book.
(Original)
Nous y avons mangé une bonne raclette et avons été servis à l'heure prévue
L'endroit est chaleureux avec la cheminée.
Pour le réveillon, il n'y avait pas de menu imposé, et pas d'augmentation des tarifs à la carte, ce qui nous a décidé à réserver."
Helene Reusse
"(Translated by Google) Endless wait (50 minutes) at 1 p.m. for two daily specials (lasagna) and a children's menu (chopped steak and ice cream). Surly and inefficient service although there are few people, the locals are served without waiting unlike the tourists. Lasagna reheated in the microwave, dry and cardboard on top.
Avoid!
(Original)
Attente interminable (50 mns) à 13 heures pour deux plats du jour (lasagnes) et un menu enfant (steak haché et glace). Service renfrogné et peu efficace bien que peu de monde, les locaux sont servis sans attendre contrairement aux touristes. Lasagnes réchauffés au micro-ondes, secs et cartonnés sur le dessus.
À éviter!"
Didier Lahouze
"(Translated by Google) The food is pretty good by the way but when the locals wait a quarter of an hour the tourists wait three times that and the portions are ridiculous €15 for 120g of lasagna. Unfriendly boss.
(Original)
La cuisine est plutôt bonne au fait mais quand les locaux attendent un quart d’heure les touristes c’est le triple et les portions sont ridicules 15 € les 120 g de lasagnes. Patronne pas aimable."
