“ Owned by a young lad who was a fantastic host and chef. Food was superb. Our group from Australia wish him Well. ”
“ Our lunch came out pretty nice. The beef stew was great, tasty and big portion...good for 2. It also comes with salad and bread. I'm not sure if 16€ is cheap but I will definitely comeback. The staff is accommodating too. ”
“ A lovely little café, bar. Full of locals, which is usually a good sign. Staff were friendly and patient with our Franglais. Great position to people watch and shelter from the unexpected rainstorm whilst eating delicious tapas. Very generous portions for the price!! Definitely worth a visit ”
“ This café is a little gem of Narbonne, it has all the atmosphere that the tourist may be looking for, large windows to watch the world go by, personable staff, nice little tapas served with drinks, even oysters if you're keen. Tasty quiche served with a small salad and a glass of wine less than 8euros. Deal! ”
“ You can trust it will be open with fresh croissants and coffee at 8am. This place serves staple French comfort dishes and you will find their onion soup consistently good. Due to its location perfect for watching people busy about their business outside their big windows. I was touched seeing the younger regulars looking after the older ones. The service is always great. ”
