Superbe endroit magnifiquement convivial et idéalement situé : pour les pécheurs l'église est à deux pas. Pour les automobilistes en panne la garage est en face. Pour les voyageurs la gare CFF est à 30 mètres. Et pour les buveurs de bière ne partez plus, vous avez trouvé l'endroit parfait. Une patronne qui reçoit avec le sourire. De délicieux croissants au jambon, des rissoles exceptionnelles, des cordons bleus maison divins et surtout des spécialités de pâtes uniques à Belfaux à réclamer au plus vite .

Un restaurant "à l'ancienne", comme on les aime. Magnifique accueil avec sa patronne au fort caractère mais qui sait prendre soin de ses clients. Des sommelières professionnelles et d'une gentillesse sans pareille.
