le bistrot du gourmand - Soissons

We stopped on Soissons on the last night of our vacation and enjoyed a great dinner here.! The owner visited our table and was very entertaining - the food was great and the price very reasonable. It was a great ending to our vacation!

We really enjoyed our meal here. We both chose the Italian burger which had a gorgeous home made tomato sauce with it. The owner was super friendly and welcoming.

We arrived in Soissons rather late on a Friday evening. After checking into our hotel, we set out to find a restaurant and stumbled upon this place. They have a raised patio dining area along the sidewalk, and we took a table there. Shortly after we ordered, a 3-person band began to perform in French and English for the guests. We soon joined the locals tapping out the rhythm with our fingers and feet. When the food arrived, it was simple home cooking, but very good. The owner came over to our table (as he did the others) a couple of times during our visit to ask how everything was and he seemed genuinely concerned that his guests enjoyed their evening. On top of it, the prices seemed reasonable for what we ordered.
