"We were delighted to see the Les Routiers sign as we drove into the village, having passed any number of restaurants that were shut, some looking to be of a permanent nature. You are always sure of getting a good meal in a Les Routiers restaurant, sometimes basic but always good. It was a Saturday and getting late for lunch but the place was still packed. Monsieur le patron greeted us as we walked in and sat us down at one of the long communal tables and a young lady, the only one serving and boy did she work hard, explained what was on offer. A four, yes four course menu starting with a buffet followed by a main, chosen from the menu on a board on the wall, then cheese and a dessert and all for 17.5e. All of it was excellent quality and I saw quite a number of people visiting the buffet a number of times, there appeared to be no restriction on how much you could have but in honesty, with everything else to come, one trip and a reasonable selection was more than enough. Our waitress had no English and poor as my French is, we still managed to have a bit of a laugh and I could help her out with another English couple who came in later. Good food, plenty of it and at a really good price and with friendly and cheerful service, what more do you want? Highly recommended. You probably know that Les Routiers started as recommended restaurants for truckers, the French equivalent of our transport cafés but far superior. Now the sign just indicates you will get a good meal at a reasonable price although that is a little different with their places in the UK. Lookout for a Les Routiers La Casserole in France because the food in these will blow you away."

Une formule tout buffet (entrée / plat) à volonté !Service avec le sourireDu choix dans les entrées et plats, un p'tit bout de fromage et 3 desserts aux choix, un 1/4 de vin + un café le tout pour 14.10 €.Pas de grandes prétentions, mais a le mérite d'être connu.

Bon rapport qualité/prix du buffet à volonté (entrée, plat, dessert, pichet de vin, 14.30 euros), avec, le midi où nous étions là, un des des plats d'une qualité vraiment suprenante: papillotte de saumon baignant dans une sauce-crème excellente. Bonne variété d'entrées et de plats. Service très aimable.

Saw the roadside signs on the way down, and came back a few days later having checked reviews. We didn't quite believe what we apparently got for a fixed price, but I'm a sucker for a buffet. I should have been more trusting. Starter buffet was great, and would have been perfectly adequate as a meal in itself. A choice of five mains (not buffet) followed we had the tripe, and he veal. This may look like a truck stop, but the quality of the food was much, much higher. Then there was the cheese board, the dessert buffet, the coffee... add on a bottle of sparkling water, and it came to a grand total of... 34.50e? Yes, I checked. Not per head. That was the total.
