La Plancha Gourmande sur Le Mans

02/01/2026: Almost daily, I go to "Les Tontons," which has gradually become "My headquarters"!!! I stay for about two and a half hours each time, at the bar, and regularly in the restaurant, with friends. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and we're all on a first-name basis—Stevens (the owner), the waitresses, and me. The food is excellent and plentiful. The decor is simple but tasteful. The waitresses are very friendly, both at the bar, where Alizé works and prepares drink orders for the dining room (you need an amazing memory, often with four colleagues in the dining room, and the owner also serving!!!), and in the dining room, where Loetitia, Morgan, Maelle, and Laurine busily manage the numerous tables (150 covers possible). In short, a great place to be!!! Thank you all (don't forget the chef and his assistants). Since this review, I've witnessed scenes where people are completely lacking in manners. They walk in, as if it's a free-for-all, and go straight to the restroom, of course, without even ordering a glass of mineral water! This attitude speaks volumes about the indifference of some people who think they can get away with anything, and who are then surprised when someone points it out and refuses them entry! "Les Tontons" is a restaurant, not a public urinal! At my parents' brasserie, this kind of behavior earned its perpetrators a bucket of ice water down their underwear, to the laughter of the customers, including police officers, and believe me, they weren't going to "file a complaint," because the police would throw them out!

18/12/2025: We came in a large group, received a very warm welcome, the staff were attentive and very helpful, the service time was respected, and the main course and dessert were excellent. We'll definitely be back. I highly recommend it.
