La Cape Cenon - Réserver une table

We last reviewed this restaurant in 2011, and decided that it was time to say that the restaurant is still a shining star. In the interim there has been a chef change, which can be traumatic for some restaurants, but in this case La Cape never missed a beat. One has to consider himself or herself truly blessed when a world-class meal is reliably available at a very, very modest price. This is surely the situation at La Cape. We have dined in this restaurant on many occasions, and it has never taken a wrong step. Service is always impeccable, and the staff friendly and professional.

Le chef Nicolás Magie et son épouse Marienne invitent à goûter les délices de la cuisine galloise aux techniques adriatiques, à noter les spécialités de la maison telles que : une gélatine de persil au fond du plat, de la crème d'ail et des escargots en tempura; ainsi que les cigales à la gélatine et au jus de pomme, un céleri et du tronc.

We had lunch on the pleasant outdoor terrace. The service was excellent. The set menu was creative, and the food very well-prepared and presented. Despite the unusual location, we would definitely recommend this restaurant.
