Cafe du Nord - Menu

this is for the family! eating was good, but average. the wine was also average. nothing extraordinary. many children.

Currently no fixed vegan menu options but staff and chef are really open to special requests Updated from previous review on 2022-01-21

we visited a few times for a beer on the terrace. we also came to a family dinner during the night market on Thursday night. it was a set menu and had a series of local products and directed. service is great and would. highly recommended.

We succeeded having a table at the terras. Got the real french feeling, personnel open to a little chat. Very good kitchen with some specialties. several local wines, beers. Tried two more times to go there without reservation, unsuccessful. So reservation recommended.

we had dinner in the cafe du nord, recommended by our hotel. it was a beautiful, very local and traditional restaurant. the staff was in service and the locally produced eating was a good and tasty. we forgot our sons teddy bear and it had the best position to get it the next day.

My review from a few months ago was genuine. The cafe was genuine smart, lovely too so I went back. Sadly, with some of the same faces still there, what I got was glum, sad, tired faces. Last time, there were smiles and I felt...welcome. Now few staff seemed to care if I was there or not. And I waited patiently! What I ate/drank was OK, but the pleasure of the place was gone; it did not feel happy and no-one was even ready to be cheerful. It is the summer! Wake up and enjoy your customers!!

Beautiful looking restaurant. Lovely quirky decor. Great looking menu. Sat outside with great house aperitif. But from then on it was a huge disappointment. The snails we ordered as a starter arrived with the main course. No wine as yet we waited and waited ....Still no wine. By the time it arrived we were half way through our main course. No bread either. Meat apparently fillet Charolais was very chewy. Had better and cheaper in far less pretentious places. Desserts were average definitely not a panecotta as described. Wouldn't have minded paying 35 euros per head if it had been perfect.

Stopped in Arnay-le-Duc for lunch and just happened to choose the Cafe du Nord and so glad we did. The entree of the day was a flavorful terrine that was better than many I'd had other places. Vegetables and a salad that accompanied the meal...were also very good and well prepared. While all this was very good for me the best was the creme brulee dessert which was richer than most I've had. Rather than the half inch of creme this version had three or four times the creme and was tastier than others I've had. It was a real treat with the cafe au lait. Sitting on the square the terrace of Cafe du Nord is a good place for people watching.

We had seen the Cafe in the morning while we were walking around the town but it was closed until 11am. We had been hoping for breakfast! We decided to return in the evening for a meal. We were able to sit outside in the...sunshine and started with glasses of ratafia as aperitifs. We ordered the eggs meurette and the charcuterie plate and our daughter had an omelette. We all enjoyed the food, my eggs were poached and served in a red wine sauce really delicious. We all chose puddings, a nectarine tart was a highlight, beautiful pastry and light crème pâtisserie. Very good homemade food and the restaurant shows a list of local food suppliers. Very enjoyable meal and evening. We would come back...
