"So the staff is really friendly and kept us entertained 👍
The food is clean, not over-seasoned and fresh. 👍
However, we came late and maybe it caused our burger be slightly burned 😁
Fortunately, we’ve found a good place in Lourdes👍"

"Served by polite young man that can speak multiple languages. Very helpful.
I ordered Du Cant meal with the coconut and jungle green non alcoholic cocktails, and a coffee. Service was quick. The burger was tender and the jambon added a strong salty seasoning to each bite. Frites were golden brown with a lovely crunch. Not too heavy.
Cocktails were refreshing and the sweetness was at a satisfying level. Coffee was roasted to have a strong bitter kick, when taken black.
Overall a great lunch before tackling the cycle down to Soulom."

"A fantastic place to stop for dinner or a coffee. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. I visit Lourdes every year and this place is part of my pilgrimage!
The Entrecôte I got the last time was possibly the nicest steak I’ve had…ever and with homemade chips!
Magnificent!!!"
