Cafe L’Entracte - Fontenay-le-Comte

A characteristic French caffe on the main street. good place to do nothing, to drink a coffee and to watch the world, past. the eating was also good.

This place is a classic example of what happened with small caffes in rural france. in order to attract the locals, they must keep the prices low, and the only way to do this is by providing prepackaged food. at our visit was a. kroque monsieur really ghastly, and my Perigord salad was served with industrial crumbles. avoid them, and instead the boulangerie served near the tip of the same road, the beautiful cake and very good filled baguettes.

It looks nothing from the outside. We went in because we saw a few locals enjoying a coffee outside. As soon as we said we wanted to eat, we were beckoned into the restaurant area at the back, which looked like a sixth-form cafeteria. But...it was full of locals, and the food didn't disappoint! For about a tenner we had a fantastic fixed-menu 3-course lunch, including a knuckle of gammon with Puy lentils in a sauce that was out of this world! The waiter, a young lad of about 20, was as attentive as you could wish, and it was a wonderful French experience. If you're passing and hungry, this is a great place for an excellent-value lunch.

Brasserie d'habitués semble-t-il, l'offre est simple et le service est aimable et efficace. Ca ne se veut pas de la grande cuisine, juste une proposition honnête pour déjeuner à un prix correct.

Endroit chaleureux et convivial avec une première terrasse sur la rue animée et une deuxième au fond de la salle..... Brasserie agréable et accueil plus que chaleureux.... Petite soiree à thème tel que karaoké, concert ou concours de fléchettes....
