Le Chaudron - Valenciennes

Located in a beautiful old building in the center of the city, the ambiente is improved by a pleasant background trad jazz. the service is friendly and the food is typical of the opposite. I'm back.

Maybe I will consider more of this restaurant when they have filled more tables in a Friday night. it is a beautiful restaurant with many tables, but was only 2 pairs inside, very bad! maybe a reason? a very polite staff served us who did not speak English, but his best to communicate. the menu offered typical eating of the region, which was good and tasteful. good selection of wine and champagne.

It is a bit complicated to eat in the north france because the restaurants have very specific hours. we found this restaurant over the internet, it is open. a small entrance but inside is spacious with a large corner glass window inside terrace. toilet is not forgotten in the second floor whether there is a help for the handicap customer. the menu has the choice between French eating the local specialties from the north. all are well presented generous portions, some menu has really good value. children's menu is available. it was the grilled fish we have ordered, has a strong burning smell of grill, which is for a pity. Servicewise, it was a Monday night, should be a quiet evening, so only a gentleman for the service, we came early, eating served in a good time, but to the half of the meal, more people came so slowly. overall we are very happy about it.

We were recommended this restaurant by the hotel mercure. all the garden tables were full, so we had to sit in the winter garden, which was quite hot and the red plastic chairs did not help and were not as comfortable as they looked. our food was uninspiring and in which did not so great for the price. please throw a look at the photos for more detail, but all our dishes were presented with ordinary cut white brot, this was quite discouraging in france. the sauce that came with my steak was actually tasteless, but the steak itself was ok. in a glass there was a very strange pre-appertiser from coleslaw. I wish our meal would have been better, we were only in france for one day and this dinner was really disappointing.
