Lire plus El Mexicana is situated in the Cobham services on the M25. On a ridiculously busy day during half term holidays, I went there and had a great burrito, nacho and churros in less time than it would have taken to queue for the McDonalds KFC etc. Better still, the quality of the food was many times better! This was proper fast food quick, tasty and served with a smile! My review of 4 5 is relative to the other fast food restaurants at a motorway service station, not a comparison with other restaurants around the world!

Lire plus Le Quai Gourmand is located inside Futuroscope theme park, and thus commands a captive audience. However, they offer a 3 course menu for only €16 when we were there, which is excellent value almost anywhere! The restaurant offers a 'Flunch ' style experience. On entering, you choose your starter, dessert drinks (if you want them), then order the type of main meal you want at the cash desk. This then allows you to eat your starter and then get your main cooked fresh. The system works well, and also comes with unlimited vegetables from a hot buffet. The throughput of people means that the vegetables are frequently replenished, and therefore fresh. Food quality was excellent, taste was good, and service came with a friendly smile from everyone we met. I would recommend this restaurant anyway, but as a theme park restaurant it gets even more points!

Lire plus Nous sommes allés ici un jour très animé à Saint Lary. Tous les restaurants étaient bondés, donc le fait que nous ayons eu une table pour 6 personnes sans réservation pourrait en dire long. Il n'y avait rien de particulièrement mauvais avec le restaurant. Le service était bon, bien que avec seulement 2 employés, l'attente s'est prolongée à mesure que le restaurant se remplissait. La nourriture était correcte, mais pas formidable. Nous avons surtout mangé des crêpes galettes, et les avons trouvées un peu fades et pas si difficiles à faire !

Lire plus Dans le cadre de l'ensemble des restaurants temporaires de la plage du Havre, nous nous sommes arrêtés ici après une belle promenade le long de la promenade par une belle soirée. Si vous ne réservez pas, arrivez tôt (en tant que Britannique, ce n'est généralement pas un problème : l'atmosphère se réchauffe avec la quantité de clients plus tard dans la soirée. Le service était très bon et attentionné, et la nourriture de haute qualité et abondante. Les moules étaient très bonnes, et le menu était un moyen assez économique et copieux de manger par exemple, une petite bière, un énorme plat de moules et une glace gourmande m'ont bien rassasié ! Toute la tablée (3 adultes 2 enfants) a passé un très bon repas, et le menu enfant était d'une qualité aussi élevée (et fraîche) que celle des adultes.

Lire plus Our hotel was in this district (university business area), and arriving on a Saturday there was not much open for lunch, so we were directed here. It was quite busy, but we were served in good time. Like other local Pastelarias we've visited, the food was excellent, very fresh, and ridiculously good value for money about €5 for a full plate of nice food! The fish was fresh, and well cooked. Being a bakery, we chose a selection of cakes for dessert, and these didn't disappoint either. The Sangria is also recommended really strong, and very tasty! I wonder why some people go to the poor quality and ridiculously expensive restaurants in the city centre when this quality exists not too far away! Recommended!

Lire plus We have been to a few 'local ' Pastelaria in Portugal, and honestly they are great! We were there for a late lunch, and the menus were about €6 7 each for a full plate of food. The food was not glamorous, but was nice, filling and just what is needed for an honest price. On top of this, the Pastelaria is a bakery, so dessert was sorted from the patisserie counter with a great choice (including a good Pasteis de Nata). To finish, really friendly staff; not all spoke English but it really didn 't matter. There was good humour and we all got our messages across! For all those who demand haute cuisine try this sort of place open your minds and be prepared to be impressed!

Lire plus The Crescendo is located in a hypermarket complex, and the idea is simple choose a starter dessert drink (if you want them) then order your main meal at the checkout. It is then made fresh for you, with an 'unlimited ' vegetable area to go with it. For what it is, it is very good. The food is fresh and tasty, and there is good choice. It is a bit of canteen style seating, but this is a restaurant in a hypermarket complex not a Michelin starred restaurant. Hence the 4* related review. Went here with family of 5. Everyone ate well and was happy with their choices. What more could be asked for??!!

Lire plus Nous sommes venus ici pour une fête de famille (plus de 50 personnes). La nourriture était excellente, avec beaucoup à manger et d'une qualité incroyable, accompagnée d'un excellent service. Ce qui rend ce restaurant encore plus spécial pour moi sont les vues incroyables qui l'accompagnent. Construit sur une colline escarpée, le restaurant offre une vue fantastique sur la ville, les plages, le port et l'estuaire de la Seine, un endroit idéal pour un samedi soir ensoleillé (quand nous y étions ! Recommandé !

Lire plus Nothing is cheap in the captive audience of the Disney area whether you're in a Disney property or a local hotel! That said, the Marche Gourmand, while also not cheap, is quite good value for money as it is a limitless buffet. The food is good, and there is quite a good choice of hot food, cold meat, cheese, desserts etc but note that it may be the same every day! Due to Disney exhaustion, we ate here two nights in a row, with exactly the same buffet. There was enough variation for 2 days, but no more.

Lire plus As a big family group of 12 for dinner (including 3 birthdays! , the restaurant put on a good show. It offers an excellent set menu for a very reasonable price, and a great wine list to accompany it. The food was very well cooked and presented, and was very tasty. The staff also excel. Without exception, everyone who served us was very polite and good-humoured. Located within the hotel Alteora, I would recommend the restaurant for both residents and non-residents.
