The Sixties Diner in Aubière by Gautier
The Sixties Diner in Aubière near Clermont-Ferrand is, as you can imagine, a restaurant
on the theme of the American 60s.
The place is decorated
like a 60s fast food joint, in fact, when you
enter, you think that you are going to eat in the restaurant from Pulp
Fiction!
There is an appropriate
musical background and an impressive series of collectibles about the Sixties
which fills every corner of the dining room.
In terms of food, it
is high quality fast food made with fresh produce.
There are also some
more complex dishes which will satisfy even the most demanding customers.
The fajitas and the
burgers are absolutely excellent.
The waiters smile
spontaneously and are dressed in appropriate garb.
One does not have to
wait too long to get served.
The only downside is
that the prices are a bit high, but you are paying for the ambiance too…
So, if the Sixties is
your thing, you now know where you can now go for dinner!
My mark: 16/20
L'Ecailler in Ile d'Oleron by Amaury
If you want to
(re)discover the real flavours of seafood, you have to go to L’Ecailler.
It is located
in a beautiful harbour in Ile d’Oléron on the French Atlantic coast.
There is a
beautiful view from the restaurant.
The welcome is
very friendly and there is a very relaxed atmosphere, perfect for the holidays.
The customers
are ordinary families out to enjoy themselves.
The decor is
not very original but it is nonetheless pleasant because it evokes the sea.
The restaurant
is very clean.
Service is
very fast and the waiters are very pleasant with the customers.
The
presentation of the food is a little perfunctory but that does not take
anything away from its quality.
The tap water and
the bread are very good too, and there is more than enough to eat.
You do not even have to pay a lot for your feast, so go to L’Ecailler!
Le Soubrany in Riom by François
Le
Soubrany is a
quiet, charming, restaurant in Riom near the Town Hall.
It is one
of the few good restaurants in Riom.
The decor
is modern.
It has a
homely atmosphere and the owner, who waits on the tables, is very friendly.
The service
is quick because the restaurant only seats thirty at most.
A typical
dish is the local truffade, made of potato and cheese.
You should
try the large plate with four or five different foods, all delicious.
Because it
is stuck out in Riom, Le Soubrany does not get many customers, which is
a shame.
I recommend therefore that you go to it without furter delay!
