Top-notch restaurant. Honestly, it's always a treat to go there.

Mussels and fries with Maroilles cheese. Very disappointed by the quality and quantity of the fries... clearly not the house specialty. It was difficult to hear each other speak because the acoustics under the veranda were terrible (the dining room was full). The staff were pleasant and responsive. To sum up, and without meaning to be derogatory, it's a brasserie, a quick bite with friends, but definitely not a romantic or gourmet experience.

The restaurant is conveniently located, the food is delicious(! , but the beer is completely overpriced. The hospitality of the French towards foreigners who don't speak their language is, of course, limited.

You have to put this star rating in context of the type of restaurant it is. It's not fine dining. So a 3 fits for its type. But for its service etc it deserves another star. This is a multi function restaurant, with tables on the street, a covered restaurant and bar. The fast food offer of moules (mussels) with fries and a drink was good value for money at €15. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. And every everything was kept tidy tables etc. Would I come again ? Yes for a quick no nonsense meal.

The Welsh was nothing for me, too salty. The prices are quite high for the result. And the gofte with sugar was not fresh in my opinion, because normally the sugar sticks to freshly baked gofre if put over it after the baking. But this gofre is as white as an English before summer .

Casual restaurant with good beer. Service is also very Friendly. Sory, but 'The famous Welsh ' is a disaster, good idea, but a disaster. It is too heavy for the average stumach. More TOASTED toast bread and less oily cheese. A splash of white wine or other alcohol on the toast and some decorative garnish and the whole thing would have been worth its 'famouse ' title. Fries would be nicer too if they were fresh. Would definitely visit again, but wouldn 't order the Welsh..

Friendly and accommodating staff and good beer. Food was OK but a bit strange. Never had a Welsh rarebit like this, that’s for sure.

Extremely oily food, no seasoning, filthy toilet. Mayonnaise made with frying oil, terrible. Old fries. 1 star because there is no way to put zero. I never ate anything so bad, I'm never coming back again.

A friendly and warm welcome, not much waiting before being served, a very varied choice with an impressive amount of welsh and all as good as each other. The only small flat is the choice of beer access only on Goudale. But otherwise nothing to say I'll go back with pleasure, like Gazelle AKA Shakira in Zootopie TRY EVERYTHING on the map! Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian dishes including welshs and burgers Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This welsh was really famous, the plate didn’t ask for its rest. Tasted in a superb typical restaurant with the sound effects of the rain to get in the mood. I recommend!
