Al'Fosse 7 - Tisch reservieren

We came here after a long day visiting WW1 cemeteries in France and were a bit early (5pm). We were told they didn’t open 'till 6pm, but on chatting we were welcomed in to wait, given drinks and some books to look at. We were served before 6pm and the food was superb, the restaurant soon filled up after 6pm, it is clearly very popular. The desserts were especially amazing. It has a mining theme and some history of the areas mining history. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Found this restaurant on trip advisor , and saw the good reviews.Initially we had reservations as wondered if it was a little too themed.Had to book by phone as email not used. When we visited on Friday lunch time it was quite busy , our reservations were blown away by the friendly reception we were given and the food was terrific.We left and made our way to the Louvre Gallery in Lens.
