A la Marmite du Bois Sabot - Dreux

Petit resto sympa,accueil chaleureux,cuisine "fait maison".Attention salle vite pleine.J'y retournerai.

Found this lovely restaurant by happy accident. We had tried to find somewhere to park in Dreux central without success and were heading north out of town when we spotted this typically French bistro. Red and white awning outside and red and white check tablecloths inside. Felt like I walked onto an Ello Ello set. The welcome was lovely despite our French being rubbish and their English being less than basic. At 15€ for the menu of the day was great value.I had the porc as a starter which turned out to be pork tongue. Wouldn't have voluntarily ordered this but it was delicious; really tender and beautifully cooked. Happy I went in 'blind'. Hubbie had melon and ham - no problems at all. Then we had the duck confit. Have never had a bad confit in France and wasn't disappointed this time.Skipped the cheese as full up and doing a long drive after but deserts were scrumptious. Cream brûlée and apricot tart.Was a lovely meal with charming hosts. Thoroughly recommend for great food and value. I do need to brush up my French though!!!

Bon plats traditionnels. Cuisine simple et bonne. Ambiance chaleureuse. Décoration sympa et personnels tout aussi sympathique.

Stopped in for lunch as the restaurant is near the route from Orleans to Rouen. The restaurant does not look promising from the road but is bigger inside and nicely presented. We had the "prix fixe" menu Eur 15 and this seemed to be what everyone has. There were about 6 starters, 7 mains and 7 desserts. Everything we had was good.The restaurant is open noon to 2pm Monday to Friday and Friday evening 8pm - 11pm.

Bon restaurant rapport qualité prix. Nous y allons souvent avec mes collègues le midi. Rapide et correct. Propre dommage pas de parking
