Llevo años parando en centros routieres y sin duda ha sido el lugar donde el mejor lugar me han acogido. Cuando estás fuera de tu territorio lo que esperas es que te acojan con cariño, comas bien y sobretodo no te sientas desplazado. Un DIEZ EN TODO. Lo recomiendo 100%!!!!!

Un relais pour tous et une magnifique surprise sur la route des vacances : un menu simple mais d’une grande qualité (pour les plats essentiellement). Les meilleures frites mangées depuis longtemps ! Et le service est chaleureux et très à l’écoute. Nos deux enfants ont adoré leur « steak à cheval » (et pas DE cheval ;) Je recommande sans hésiter.

Accueil agréable et service dynamique Un routier comme on en trouve plus de nos jours. Buffet d'entrées et de dessert, plats variés. Un repas complet pour 2 à moins de 40€ ( bière, entrées, plats, fromage ET dessert, café). Une belle étape sur la route des vacances.

Je m'y suis arrêté ce soir : grand parking pour les camions . Excellent accueil, douches très spacieuses et super propres. Dîner très très bon. Je viens souvent livrer près de ce restaurant, du coup je vais m'y arrêter souvent. Un excellent établissement
