“ Visited the restaurant as a tourist who doesn’t speak French. The girl who welcomed me was very kind, helpful and smiley. Huge entree buffet and very tender meat. Great selection of desserts. Cheap prices. Would recommend. ”
“ If I could give 6 stars then I would. Fabulous place. Staff extremely kind and friendly. The boss even let me have a carton of milk for the truck. Showers and toilets are immaculately clean and the food is excellent. I would suggest advertising that you are open for the weekend as so few Routier are in France now. Thank you for a great experience I have told my colleagues about here and I will definitely be back. Merci from the English driver ”
“ First time I came off a boat into France in a truck this place was the first routiers I had ever had a night out at. Claude’s is a classic place with friendly staff , shower and great menu. Got here at 9 o clock and still had my fill. Few good nights had here over the years ”
“ Cosy and welcoming with very friendly staff. We actually broke down on the way to catch our ferry and Philippe and Martine were so accommodating and helpful. They made a disastrous experience much easier. The room was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable, we all slept well, including the dog. Breakfast was a delight, fresh coffee and croissants. Definitely recommend staying there. ”
“ Great value for money. Lovely food with big buffet. ”
