Hidden gem if you like unpretentious honest food. A delightful lunch.
Bon restaurant dans l'ensemble, beaucoup de plats proposés et copieux, service rapide mais manque parfois l'eau ou le pain. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas une formule sans desserts qui sont assez industriels. 12,80 plat/dessert 18,80 entrée/plat/dessert... Bizarre
We were staying overnight at a B&B about in the countryside. The owner didn't do an evening meal but recommended a posh restaurant 6 km away or what the owner described as a 'more basic establishment frequented by travellers and truck drivers" 4 km away. Luckily we took the closest option and were soon at Relais Normand easily spotted by the trucks parked in and around it. In we went to a large table of French truck drivers having their evening meal laughing and gesticulating with typical French gusto. We had a wonderful traditional French meal for a very reasonable price and we enjoyed the banter from the other patrons. We found out later that this restaurant is certified as a Les Routiers truck stop and if the meal and service we received is anything to go by we will kep our eye out for other certified restaurants on our trips through France.
