Endroit très accueillant et très beau, les kebabs sont pas mal, le pain n’est pas le même que les autres comme en ville et ça change pas mal et les frites sont faites maison, le couscous est bon de fou, bien cuit, on sent beaucoup les goûts et les saveurs. Merci au chef et à la serveuse !

Cuisine simple, mais copieuse et bonne. Personnel agréable. Tarif correct. Un petit restaurant en campagne sympa pour y casser une croûte

What a lovely place! A one night stopover at the campsite and while looking for places to eat we found La Gare. A pleasant five minute stroll brought us to this unassuming little place with the most friendly hostess. Limited menu but all freshly prepared and very tasty! Great value and very good vin rouge ordinäre! Definitely recommend this place and hope to be back!

What a delightful, local hub of social interaction. A warm welcome from the owners and locals alike. Met some really interesting people and was served with great food and drink for just €20 each. The town is charming and we felt that we had stumbled on a real gem of a place. Thank you.

We have just eaten one of the best couscous for a long time. Small very welcoming restaurant. Very happy to accommodate my wife's dietary needs.

Dit kleine restaurant is een bezoekje waard! De kaart is beperkt, maar elk gerecht is met liefde bereid. De entrecote is mals, de kebab vol smaak, en de desserts – ijs en panna cotta – zijn heerlijk. Pluspunt: supervriendelijke service. Wij komen nog terug
