Very good value restaurant with good food and a wide choice. The set-up looks similar to a motorway service station. The grill bar is excellent value, with help yourself fries and vegetables, though first time I visited I did not realise you pay first then go to the grill so wasted time queuing in the wrong place. However, the staff are friendly and helpful which made up for it! A better choice than a standard fast food restaurant and close to Leclerc supermarket and a major out of town shopping area.

Pretty average "buffet" food, but the staff goes above & beyond. The service was incredible. Staff are constantly moving through the restaurant to ensure tables are cleaned promptly, and parties are efficiently seated. One of the best. I'd eat here any time.
