L'Avant Scene - La Rochelle

We went for apéritif there, the lady was very welcoming and greeted us with a smile. I would definitely go back for a drink.

Cheap and cheerful but quite stylish. Just a bit (20m) away from the touristy cafes but much cheaper food. Beer is fairly pricey as you'd expect. Wine isn't quite as good value as you often get in France but not terrible. Fairly limited menu, but the food is extremely good value, especially for the location. Good quality too. Service was very good.

Really handy for film and concert-goers. The service was very friendly. A couple of veggie options on the menu (vegetable soup and a couple of salads, one with ham in though)When I asked if they could cater for a veggie, the chef was ok. He'd take the ham off one of the salads and replace it with something (he gained points there - I didn't have to ask him to) In the end I ordered a Salade Fromagère (plus chips) and the quantity and variety of cheese was totally correct. At 17.10€ for salad (that I couldn't finish) chips (not fresh - I couldn't finish either) and a cup of decaf, it wasn't the best deal I'd ever had, but I'd go again, but maybe forget the chips

Every year we visit the film festival and dine here on the midday most days. always excellent service, good value, friendly atmosphere, despite the despair of filmfanatikens that will bring them to bear! eating is first class.
