LE GARDIAN

When you don't reserve upfront in Saint-Omer, you end up in a place like this. The staff is very friendly, but the food... I took the suggestion of the day: a bavette de vache sauce poivre. I asked to cook the piece of meat medium, but it arrived well done and it was very tough. Also the peppersauce was like cement. The 2 stars for the food is because the fries were good. I was amazed that the place was almost full, because i'm not returning there.

Friendly. Good folded over pizza - calzone. Great salad.

Not an expensive place, we got pizza but it was maybe their take on a pizza? The bases were not a traditional base, more a sheet of pre made base rolled out. Just for info if you fancy a pizza.

My wife and myself visited this lovely place, the staff were all very friendly and charming. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who needs a true French experience of hospitality.

Bar/bistro/restaurant in St Omer. One of many similar type of establishments in the main Central area of St Omer, nothing special, tons of chips to accompany you plat du choice, I had the mixed grill which consisted of 2 chipolata sized sausages which were very tasty, a small entrecote steak and 2 small pieces of chicken fillet (which were very dry), along with the ton of chips was a small side salad comprised of various lettuce leafs. As soon as we sat down I ordered a Ricard aperitif which never materialised, but we weren't charged for either so she obviously just forgot. We opted for the pichet of white wine which was fine just for quaffing but came in at 10 Euros. You'd think in France you could get a decent bottle of wine for that price, 2 days ago we stopped off at a supermarket and got a very palatable Bordeaux for 2.20, why such a mark-up in an average bar/bistro? The problem with St Omer is that the bistros/restaurants around the main square are very much of a muchness, so pick the cheapest one.
