L'Escale Village - Déols

This is a great routine that grew out of a more modest facility. it is success is well earned because it is very good what it does, and good priced. there is a bar that is almost completely used by truck drivers: but if they are happy... no one will contradict their inestimacy. if your French is good, it is an opportunity to learn about the routine and prints that the many long truck drivers experience in France. adjacent to the bar is what in the did an old-fashioned relay routine, with menus, dishes of the day and guided. in the next, much larger room, is a restaurant with a large menu and a wide clientele. people drive from surrounding cities and villages to eat here. highly recommended.

Reviewed this extraordinary place a couple of years ago but never forgot it. Thought I'd call back 2 days before Xmas to see if the legend was still the same. Sure enough there was a continuous stream of locals trying to get a table. They...squeezed us in. Service just right, really helpful and friendly, happy to discuss and recommend items on the menu in half French, half English. Food was delicious and good portions without being too fancy. This place is unique and we'll be back. Highly recommended.

My father used to say: when not sure which restaurant to choose, check the parking lot. The more trucks, the better the food! This is definitely true for l'Èscale Village. I have probably stopped by 10 times over the past two years, and the food...was always excellent. Although the place is usually packed, staff was always pleasant and helpful. Even if all tables are taken, it is well worth the wait!

A cross between a service station cafe and a restaurant. The entrance is a little off putting. Tucked around the side of the building, looking more like a factory entrance. We went to the restaurant side which was fairly busy. The restaurant itself is brightly...lit, smart and modern. Service was quick. possibly a bit too quick, as the waitress left us little time to study the menu. Things were removed from the table at speed including the water bottle which she asked if she could empty in one of our glasses so she could take it! The food choice is typically French, sea food, fish, with meats being typically Tete de veau, confit, andouillette etc. The food is very well presented and a good size for being full but not bloated. To sum up, it's a pleasant enough place, good for sea food but not the choice you'd make for a cozy intimate dinner.

We had a delicious dinner at this famous truck stop restaurant. The service was good too. Worth visiting!
