Relais de l'Europe - Abbeville

We came to lunch during a track days and thought of a fast sandwich. the lunch set menu was very cheap, so we decided to decide. we ate so good that we were not hungry when we had our dinner time, so we changed our plans and got an earlier tunnel crossing.

I have visited the aerodrome and restaurant several times in the past and was always satisfied with the food and service. this time it was a catastrophe. a surly, stained jugend showed me to a table in the bar to lunch where I waited...5 minutes on a menu, then decided to collect one myself. I waited another 10 minutes to place my order while he visited a family that had set me on me. the usual waiter and older man, who appeared cheerful and efficient in comparison, was unfortunately busy serving in the restaurant next door. until 20 minutes, I noticed the time for this report. it was 25 minutes after entering the restaurant that my first cure came gedumped on my table without smiles or commentary. I started to ask him for some butter for the brot (in French) and he went away in the middle of it! my request was ignored. I waited another 10 minutes for the main course (which was actually brought by older waiters, with polite affection), then decided that was enough and paid the bill and left coffee elsewhere. it is disappointing because I had many good breakfasts here, lunch and dinner. like other contributing note: for pilots it is very well placed and avoids finding a taxi or renting a car to eat and sleep. I also drive a few more times a year with the car on the way to the south; next time I'll fall in, but I'll make sure that the Spott youth isn't there anymore before I get in. I have no complaints about eating or the environment. ignore the service, it was also more appropriate.

For those who fly in abbeville, and it is a popular place en route from the uk for many, it is easy to convenient. close the flight plan, tie the plane and stroll it through a room and an excellent meal. eat them on the protected terrace or inside. eating is from a higher standard than the accommodation, but that said the rooms are perfectly comfable and spacious if not luxurious. how many times we have stayed here, we still have to be disappointed. Dinner times are best. the family-run hotel works hard to please and disappoints some of my opinion. peronal, I prefer my breakfast bread fresh, not roasted, but it is a small quibble. you just have to ask.

We came here for lunch during a track day, thinking of a quick sandwich.The lunchtime set menu was very reasonably priced so we decided to opt for that.We ate so well we were not hungry when it came to our evening meal, so we changed our plans and caught an earlier tunnel crossing.

I have visited the aerodrome and restaurant several times in the past, and always been pleased with the food and service. This time however, it was a disaster.A surly, spotty youth pointed me to a table in the bar for lunch, where I waited 5 minutes for a menu, then decided to collect one myself. I waited another 10 minutes to place my order while he attended a family which had sat down AFTER me. The usual waiter, and older man who appeared cheerful and efficient by comparison, was unfortunately busy serving in the restaurant next door.By the time 20 minutes had passed, I was noting the times for this report. It was 25 minutes after entering the restaurant that my first course arrived - dumped on my table with no smile or comment. I started to ask him for some butter for the bread (in French) and he walked away mid-sentence! My request was ignored.I waited a further 10 minutes for the main course (which was actually brought by older waiter, with politeness), then decided that enough was enough and paid the bill and left to have coffee elsewhere.It's disappointing because I've had many good breakfasts, lunches and dinners in this place. As other contributors note: for pilots it's very well placed and avoids having to find a taxi or hire a car to eat and sleep. I also pass by the airfield by car a few times a year on my way south; next time I will drop in, but I shall make sure the spotty youth is no longer there before going in.I have no complaints about the food, or the surroundings. Ignoring the service, it was also reasonable value.
