CAFE LES TROIS ECRITOIRES - Tours

Very welcoming,lots of locals and a varied if short menu. I particularly liked that the waitress warned us to share a starter as it was huge. I had terrine and then chicken breast with ratatouille. All first class and all for 25 Euros.

We came across this place when we were trying to find les Halles indoor food market. In actual fact it is just around the corner from there. Arrived in the middle of a busy lunch service and were accommodated quite quickly. The waitress was fabulous. She helped with the menu and filled in where our French wasn't good enough. Had the escargots and Onglet and Duck. Lovely place for lunch. Would return.

Great place with nice meals and wine. The only negative point is that the prices of some meals aren't on the menu and it can be a surprise.

It was pouring with rain and it was about the time of the evening rush. We managed to get a table and the waitress was very attentive, the wine was 5 star and the beer was served like it should be. The atmosphere was very French without any effort to be OTT. Full of locals so a good honest bar with minimum of fuss. A real local gem. We also had our daughter with us at feeding time, so lots of food being given/consumed that we took in with us - no problem. More of a bar than a restaurant.

Love this place - great for lunch or evening drinks with friends. Look out for the daily specials - delicious! And make sure you have room for the Paris Brest - heavenly! Wine is excellent value and there's a great atmosphere - love just watching the world go by with a glass of wine!
