"They have an english menu. Ordered some seafood starters, sirloin for main course and omelette surprise (the picture) for dessert. Would have been five stars if not for the steak being medium + when I asked for medium rare."

"This place is huge! It has 5 saloons as far as I could tell and 100 parking spaces. Eventhough, it is beautifully ventilated and is cool in the heat of the day. They also thankfully do not observe siesta so you can eat lunch in human time. I mean we arrived at 1:30 without booking and they sat us. Then a lot of booked families also arrived. The portions are huge with great price so one starter is either a meal or enough for 3 people. Entrecôtes are half a cow. Nicely done but if you need well done they don’t believe you and still bring you medium. House wine is perfect. Listen to the suggestions of the waiter who can’t be friendlier, more helpful or more professional. We ate 2 starters and 2 entrecôtes with a bottle of wine for 66 euros. Highly recommended."
