Went in on a Saturday evening, foot sore after a long day walking in a very hot Somme Valley. The reception was good and we opted for the buffet which was varied, very tasty, plentiful and good value for money. I particularly recommend the spicy prawns or the chicken blackbean.In fact we were so happy that we came back the following evening and went al la carte. I had crab meat fritters followed by spicy beef and Singapore rice washed down with several ice cold beers. For three of us the bill was just over 50 Euro including the drinks.A simple, clean, friendly restaurant that does excellent food and good prices.What more could you want?

On the strength of previous reviews - I found this place, which was open. Its very small and very spartan and a bit souless with no atmosphere to speak of. Sunday nights they do buffet selection only for about €13 - which is fine. However half the trays were completely empty and hadn't been refilled, and the remainder were either only luke warm or were completely stone cold. paid, left and wouldn't hurry back personally. Also it was raining and had a tiled floor and slipped and fell on the wet floor on the way out - no attempt had been made to either dry it up or warn people it was slippery.
