“ Super cool place. The service is beyond amazing. The food and choice of drinks is great too! The place is open till late night so you can easily finish the daily Rosary candlelight procession and come here to grab a bite. ”
“ We were there with my friend few times, I especially loved the warm atmosphere of the place and French-Italian friendly service with the nicest waiters, who especially appreciated people from Poland and were happy when we've visited them. The food was delicious with splendid drinks and salads, not to mention desserts, and the water was for free which was very nice during hot may days. In general I'd definitely visit them anytime, if I'd be in Lourdes again anytime! ”
“ The location is near the tourist spot with a view of the river. The carbonara is tasty but not for the steak. Even on Mondays, it tends to be crowded, and if you prefer paying with a card, expect to wait. ”
“ It's a great restaurant for a quick bite. Waiters are friendly and fun. The service is fast, especially after being at the Sanctuary all day ”
“ If you just want a quick pizza snack while near the church, this place is good. Otherwise, their other food items left a lot to be desired. Their "hot dog" was 2 small sausages in a large bun, covered in cheese and toasted. Their Bolognese spaghetti had a ton of ground beef, but almost no tomato sauce which we thought was odd. However, the pizza we ordered was not bad and the service was spectacular. ”
“ Just fantastic, the waiter was very excited and happy so great service. The food was very well made and had a rich flavour. Nom nom nom. Just not the best atmosphere bc the road its build at is quite busy and there's a lot of foot traffic. ”
“ Good tasty food on a busy street in the centre of Lourdes. Good was quick to come out and very tasty..... Not sure how a small bowl of spaghetti Bolognese is more expensive than the steak and chips but hay.. drinks were a bit pricey but in line with everyone else in that location... Would we eat there again... Yes good food and service thank you ”
“ I have no words to describe this place, We wanted to go to the restaurant right next to this but it was too crowded so we went to this one, trust me when i say that it did not disappoint me at all The pizza was very big, crispy and Yummy, The ingredients were very generously put The price was very reasonable ”
