What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Au Flan Coco is celebrated for its excellent value, unique dishes like the Pat' à Coco potato pie, and delightful desserts, all served in a charming courtyard setting. Diners praise the attentive and friendly staff, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While generally positive, some reviews mention service can be slow at times and the indoor terrace's mist system can be a bit intrusive.
"Wonderful food, wonderful friendly service.
The restaurant is located in a former convent and we sat in the very picturesque courtyard. The house speciality potato pie with chicken and chanterelle sauce was amazing and the accompanying salad too.
Cognac souffle for dessert....yum!
I would advise booking in advance."

". I reserved table outside 2 weeks prior and recommend to reserve this place. They will not let you before opening if you reserved 19-30. I really loved this place. I highly recommend to eat there. Very attentive and nice boys which served our food . We took gourmet menu (starter +main+dessert) for 39 euro. I took Grilled Cuttlefish with garlic aioli and black rice. Super tasty and for starter goat burrata with tomatos 🍅 mmmm 😋 desert also were superb Coconut flan, baked with lime in caramel. Highly recommend to take it :) my husband took Homemade Brandade alla Puttanesca" (tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers, lemon & pine nuts) and I took some of his as usual 😂 and it was fresh and amazing. Instead of main u can take House speciality. It is flaky potato pie, baked in a traditional oven, has become the signature dish of Au Flan Coco. Served with a fresh salad and raw vegetables, it's a generous, authentic... and truly unique dish.
You choose the filling you're craving — they bake it right into the heart of the pie! He took ratatouille with basil pesto and no regrets there - I recommend to try !! He was saying no place for dessert but when he saw my coconut 🥥 flan he changed his mind 😂"

"Au Flan Coco is a great restaurant. Had the Pat' à Coco, a sort of potato pie with a choice of toppings - I had lamb. Exquisite meal and a great range of desserts via a Thé Gourmand (the fun waiter allowed a Thé version of the café gourmand to great amusement) . Cannot recommend this place highly enough, go for lunch you will not regret it"
