May 24, 2026"Popular restaurant among truck drivers which is always a good spot sign. The food was very good with good portions and great value. The staff was very friendly and professional. You can have your email over the counter but they also have a room with tables in the back. Parking is easy in the area. Great place to eat good food paying a very good price. Totally recommend it."

The food is excellent for what you pay, the day's menus, when we went there were 3 to choose from, cost 10€ all-in, which includes the entrée (bread and olives), the mais dish, a drink, dessert and coffee. Nothing beats that for a wide radius."
