Owner do not speak English. Food was good and wine was also good. I was surprised, salad was served before sausage and fries.

I totally love this restaurant, the owner is nice and the food and wine is top. Location is excellent close to the gare de Perpignan and good open hours.

We were suprised by this place. Everything about it is a time warp, it's the kind of restaurant that you don't find very often these days! Good value, you can't really complain about anything at these prices, we were grateful and happy after a long journey; and within spitting distance of the Gare, so rather handy! I'll return, especially knowing how ropey the food in Perpignan town can be, this place is a find!

Good food, but I was eating outside in a "late" summer night and I almost got robbed by a boy who was just passed by walking on the street. Is not a save area apparently.

We were a bit apprehensive about entering this restaurant as it looked a little dated. However we needn't have worried, the meals were excellent as were the crepes afterwards. If you're in the area and need a good meal this resteraunt is highly recommended.
