Dormans is a rather tired looking town which is blessed an impressive & imposing memorial to the dead from the various WW1 Battles of the Marne. After visiting the memorial and the nearby Chateau we walked to the market square and hoped to enjoy a relaxing lunch sitting outside at a restaurant in the square. Sadly the service was so slow and unfriendly that we left in search of somewhere else. La Lombardie saved the day. It is down a side road about 100m from the square but justifies the walk. As we entered we were welcomed with a smile, shown a table, and our order taken in a blink. There is a good choice, with pizzas figuring strongly in a range of styles. The food is freshly cooked and was very enjoyable. We had thin crusty Etna, and recommend it.In addition we enjoyed a half carafe of white at 7.60 euro and coffee to follow.Always a good sign, it was full mostly with locals.Be aware of 2 taxes added to your bill, one of 20% and one of 10%. Don't ask me why!
