Driving from Arlon, Belgium to Colmer, France and we wanted to grab a bite to eat. Being it was our first time in France I wanted to make sure we had delicious food, but we were in a time crunch, so it had to be quick. I hopped on Google and found this place, that looked like it might fit the bill. The Chef/owner was friendly, charming, and made us feel at home instantly. He said he could speak in several languages to accommodate us, and made some friendly jokes to break the ice. All 3 of us ordered the Bibou (mine without chedder, unfortunately). For beverages, one of us had the graefruit soda, and I had the violet homemade iced tea.
The tea was one of the best I've had! Balanced, not too sweet, and lightly floral. When the pidélices came out, they were piping hot and covered in both sesame and poppy seeds. They were crispy, airy, and almost like a pizza in a paper thin baguette. The chef brought us a tasting of the lentil soup - his mother's recipe, he told us. It was thin, flavorful, and delicate. Not what I expected, but I enjoyed it enough to order a bowl. I wished I had a baguette to enjoy with the soup.
At the end, the owner wished us well and invited us back if we needed any help while visiting the city, which was genuine and kind. He has a gift fir making people feel welcome and appreciated. Overall, we had a great meal and got back on the road on schedule. It was a great stop!
