Le Clapier — Restaurant in Verdun

I guess locals know to avoid this place, there were only tourists here.

We were excited to come here due to the reviews and nice pictures on Google. However, the food was definitely not fresh/homemade/traditionally made. It tasted like cheap mass produced food heated up in the microwave. Even I could've done better - and that's saying something as I'm a bad cook. We didn't finish our food.

Other annoyances were a strong cigarette smell even though we were seated inside, no idea where that came from, and my tights snagged on the chair because...

Brilliant local and traditional restaurant. Exterior is not promising with road works but the short daily menu is true to its roots and varied enough for most. We had a fabulous evening assisted by some very reasonably priced cocktails (coupe @ 6.50) and an unpretentious wine list (the local Pinot Noir was joyous and v inexpensive). Staff were very friendly, spoke more than adequate English. Well thought of locally and well...

The hotel Jardin du Mess receptionist recomended this place and we couldn’t have loved more. The food was so good, fresh and cozy. Tender meat, perfect medium rare, the potatoes were also so tender and flavorful. The owner was the sweetest person ever, just the service alone was worth the visit. Simple and perfect restaurant for a tradicional dinner. Thanks...
