"(French below) Do not be seduced by thematic restaurants and bars in the beautiful center of Verdun. A 10-minute walk from the city tourist office takes you to this charming authentic French restaurant. We called to make a reservation on Saturday night and a table was free when the next option along the road was entirely reserved. So we did not have what to expect, but we were not disappointed. The menu was varied with three menu options. 22, 30 or 50 euros. Each of these options had three different options for beginners and main courses, plus one dessert of choice. I went for my partner's thing on the 30th, which also included a cheese board. While we decided, the biggest fun, but I arrived Pate and bread. More bread continued to arrive freely in the evening, which is something you do not always find. I had a big starter of seafood that with the mouth amuse, bread and dessert would probably have been enough food. The main courses were excellent and beautifully presented with potatoes and vegetables, but not to any new kitchen. And a fantastic cream burned and a large, but rich chocolate mousse with cream to finish. To find such a dining room at these prices, and in a suburb, not the city center, was incredible. I can’t imagine that I’ve never eaten such an excellent food for anywhere near the prices we paid, even less at a time of cost of living increases. Unfortunately, the opening hours are limited by a staff shortage (thank you Brexit! , but they are open on weekends if you visit. The atmosphere and quality of a beautiful culinary experience, but at the negotiating prices. Don't let yourself be seduced by thematic restaurants and bars in the beautiful center of Verdun.

"Two of us started with Moules Marinierre. We got about 6 New Zealand Green lipped mussels cooked very similar to escargot with garlic butter. Delicious and plenty there for starters especially when you mop up the garlic butter with the French bread. The other 2 pals had soup of the day which was vegetable. It actually was potato and courgette and although one pal was a bit dubious about the courgette they both enjoyed the soup very much.I had to eat a traditional rustic French dish and opted for pig's trotters. One pal had them also. Roasted in the oven they came (3) on a wooden platter with a large round of potato which I think was Dauphinoise and green side salad. We both agreed the trotters were cooked to perfection and enjoyable but, of course , boney.I believe the other two had steaks of some sort with a sauce.With drinks which included wine,beers and orange juice the total bill was 115 Euros for four of us.I had assortment of cheese platter but don't recall what my pals had as a sweet.There were no complaints from any of us with regard to the quality and amount of food.It would of been helpful if the menu was multinational as my schoolboy French is terrible. ( Well I was a schoolboy 60yrs ago and the memory is failing) The staff were very friendly and welcoming but didn't speak English. That is no complaint. It is their country after all but a menu in Anglais would have helped.I would happily use this restaurant again as I always eat traditional cuisine wherever I travel and we were not disappointed here."
