7.5/10The food was beautiful... But it was too hot inside, as the seating outside was already reserved... we will come back, but make sure we can sit outside in the open air... The service was okay, Valerie was very helpful with the use of the tablet, but there was a boy which looked so angry, it felt awkward... As said, it's definitely a place to remember, if for the food alone and the helpful hints and recommendations from Valerie

8.5/10The Meal was excellent, the waiter seemed a bit unexperienced, had to be reminded to supply us with cutlery after the starters

10/10The restaurant was completely fully booked,so you must make a reservation as many people were turned awau..Food was simple but very tasty and service was efficient,but we were not fans of the tablet ordering as it completely cuts out any conversion, interactions with the staff, otherwise very god value for money!

9/10A local neighbourhood restaurant. The menu consisted of many potato dishes which was slightly unexpected but the a la carte selection was lovely! Very friendly staff & great atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone.

8/10Very good quality of food, they have a menu for kids. Ample choice of typical food from the region, that you can combine in ‘formules’ at a fixed price. Good service, great wine list from different regions, above all obviously Champagne

7/10Not at all what we expected by trad french fare. The restaurant is extremely basic especially if you are out in the back addition beyond the kitchen. Service was an afterthought . 20 mins to get a glass of water! The food was superb when it arrived and although the menu was stacked with unusual potato dishes the one that was chosen was very enjoyable.

Désolé pour le désagrément mais vous vouliez changer de salle alors que nous étions complet. Concernant le rapport qualité prix j’invite les internautes à lire plus bas 😉 Finalement vous laissez un gros pourboire au serveur ce qui ne qualifie pas votre commentaire Bien à vous

7/10Nice little family restaurant. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Unfortunately, they still have some working points: next to the main dishes and the desserts you have "pour commençer" and "entree" on the menu. The "pour commençer" dishes are normally the appetizers you get with the aperitive. This time however they brought them together with the entree. Escargots (entree) with a kind of fried fish beignets (pour commençer)...not really what I had in mind. The soup of my tablemates was lukewarm but the taste was good. As a main dish, we all had one of the local specialties, a "patate" (hearty oven potato with cheese, crème fraîche and different other ingredients). It was OK, but lacked some flavour. Everyone added salt and pepper. But the worst thing was the alarm clock in the kitchen. Every few minutes that alarm clock would go off and it was loud! Incredibly annoying! So please...get rid of that horrible alarm clock!

10/10This was a great restaurant. Staff worked through our language challenges. Ordering using an iPad makes it very straightforward. Definitely make reservations!

4.5/10The front of the resto has a great small resto atmosphere but as the ‘foreigners’ we felt we were sent out the back to the non-atmospheric room with the family with the noisy kids. Not the ambiance we expected or wanted on a Friday evening. Spoilt the evening really even though the food was quite nice.

6/10Nice restaurant but totally spoilt by their electronic ordering system. I DON’T want to order on an iPad, I want to arrive, order my drinks or aperitif and muse through the menu before deciding what to eat. The system doesn’t even connect to the kitchen so the waiting staff have to reenter the order after collecting said electronic devices. Totally absurd. The food was okay, nothing outstanding and good selection. I will not return whilst this system is in place.

Merci pour votre visite mais il est tout à fait possible de commander l’apéritif dans un premier temps car vous disposiez de serveurs à qui parler .

10/10A beautiful small family run restaurant. Quality was very good. Please remember all food cooked fresh with only 2 people. Not the fastest service. But if you want fast go to McDonalds. Wish we had bigger appetites to eat more.

5/10Good food, nice duck and the potatoes dishes are original. But the service was really too long. The room we were in was too noisy and too hot. Waiting time between each dish was so slow and for even getting our bill was really not acceptable. The girl helping us was sweet but she also had to prepare the desserts for all. They really have not enough staff for the number of people. Pity.

6/10Staff was nice but it took far too long before we could order and before the food actually arrived. We had three different mains in our company and all of them were disappointing - small portions, no seasoning and either missing or overcooked vegetables. We will not be back…

8.5/10The food at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I would recommend anyone visiting champagne country… The S, cargo appetizer was delicious, the beef cheek stew was hearty and Rich, and the duck breast by far stole the show of our meal!

8.5/10We were a bit surprised to see that the place was crowded and the seating arrangements were squeezed up. And the waiting time was a bit long. But the attitude of the hostess and the quality of the food made up for it. Special thanks for the profiteroles- they were excellent

10/10This was a great find, the interior was very French, the hostess was brilliant. If you don’t speak French to well like us they have a great iPad that you order off that can translate most languages and list allergens. Jacket potato are their specialties but they are on another level, they do something to suit every taste.

10/10We had a great meal as part of our Epernay experience. We wanted a homely restaurant with good local food and this surpassed our expectations! Great value with the 3-course set menu for E20. Service was great too!

10/10This is a little gem of a restaurant. There is a wonderful ambience. The food is amazing and the service was excellent. We originally booked for two people but an extra two family members joined us unexpectedly and the staff facilitated us at short notice! We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. It offers authentic French cuisine with authentic French atmosphere. Wonderful! We will return!

10/10What a delightful find! The escargot was one of the best we had in all of France, and their speciality potato dishes are delicious. The bistro atmosphere is perfection, and dining on the terrace offered a wonderful outdoor experience with none of the bustling traffic. The service could not have been more warm, inviting and genuine. it was a memorable meal and a memorable experience.

10/10The service was excellent and spoke English very well. She brought a tablet for a menu that had an English description and pictures. The escargot was delicious. The meat/cheese topped potatoes (house specialty), were delicious.
