Loved our lunch here today, & service was lovely with our host being the only person to cook & serve, but she did a fabulous job. Thankyou, very tasty Croq Espagnole, Croq Norwegian, Hot Dog, & Burgers, lovely canal side location for all 6 of us.

We waited very long for our meals, but the dishes were prepared with so much love and tasted so good that I can easily overlook wait. The cook herself came out and told us she is trying her best to make fresh food and said sorry for the long waiting. She explained us she has many recipes from her grandmother who was apparently a fantastic cook. Awesome place, awesome food, awesome people.

We were here few days ago during our trip on Canal du Midi. This was one of the tastiest places through all our trip. The owner of the cafe cooks everything by herself, and she uses recipes of her grandmother to add the final perfect touch to usual food. We ate really incredible burgers and after that had tasting of few her specialities. Highly recommend this place!

We had two delicious fresh fruit juices here - just what we needed on a hot day during a cycle ride. I wish we were hungry as the menu looked fantastic! The owner was very friendly and welcoming.

Popped in on an off chance that the restaurant was open on a Monday and it was! We had the most amazing burgers that included original ingredient like goats cheese and pesto as well as a pear and walnut burger. Service was fantastic the the host was very happy and attentive

100% The Best burger i have ever had. And the chef tells me some of the produce is grown in her grandmother's garden. Amazing and well worth a try

Had lunch here twice while visiting in Roubia. Cathy is the nicest lady and her Croque Monsieur was delicious!!

Lovely owner of this canal side cafe, she makes really good home cooked fresh food.. And fresh juices. We are moored right outside it
