O Divine'Bar - Valenciennes

We stopped for lunch at O Divine Bar in July 2017. The café is opposite the train station and offers good café food. The lunch special is well priced at around 10€. Service was very friendly. Perfect for a quick lunch or snack.

OK, so cuisine traditionelle turned out to mean burgers, omlettes, pasta and a few other dishes but my goats cheese salad and penne a l 'arribiata were freshly cooked and the penne was suitably piquant. That and a small carafe of a more than acceptable wine were good value at about 25 euros. Service was good and the ambience pleasant with the place rather more than half full.

My wife and I spent two nights in Valenciennes May 7th and 8th. We had pre-dinner drinks here on the first evening. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the homemade pizza snacks were delicious. The ambiance was just perfect. So good we went back the next evening. They were closed! There was another bar open next door. We tried there, big mistake. Twice the price and poor reception. Salvation! O Divine opened up. We had no compunction but to leave and revisit. O Divine did not dissapoint, the same warm welcome and superb service. One not to miss if you are ever that way.

Great service, very friendly staff, fresh and delicious food. Highly recommended. A good option for vegetarians and vegans.

Followed Trip Advisor. Interesting decor. Lovely atmosphere. Had the Chef’s choice horse with Forestier sauce. Absolutely incredible. Horse was perfectly cooked. Sauce was probably the best sauce I’ve ever had with a meal (would have happily had a bowl of it on its own). And the vinaigrette with the salad was subtle, simple and perfectly chosen. C’etait superbe!
