Le Pavillon Bleu sur Villey-Saint-Etienne

We came for the first time this year, for lunch and dinner on the same day. The setting is very pleasant (pergola, pond, greenery). The staff (waitresses and waiters) were smiling, attentive, and efficient. The owner came by several times at lunchtime, and we had a very good rapport. The dishes are simple—exactly what you'd expect from a riverside restaurant—and of perfectly acceptable quality, all at affordable prices. At lunchtime, the tomato/mozzarella/arugula salad was fresh and well-seasoned, the vegetable tian was good, as were the mixed grilled meats and the fries. The mirabelle plum tart was very good. In the evening, I asked to replace the fries with something else, and they readily agreed. I received salad and good potatoes with my andouillette sausage (great sauce!). We had a great time and I am writing this review to echo some very harsh negative reviews that do not reflect everyone's experience.

A fantastic family meal! The setting was beautiful, the service was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect for a holiday. Thank you! I highly recommend it! 😀

Absolutely perfect! I recommend it!

Very good, nice space, I recommend it!

Nice place, prompt and friendly service, good value for money. And the place is open all day, just as we Belgians are used to.

We enjoyed everything at lunchtime: no wait, pleasant waiter, and a perfect three-course meal. Luckily, we didn't let the reviews speak for themselves.

Very nice place and very welcoming staff

Great service, good looking seating area, friendly staff (wich are also English speaking!) And friendly owner!! Keep up the good work! (Cheers from the offroad bikers!)

The waitresses were fantastic... they did their job well and with a smile... the food was very good and reasonably priced... everything was perfect... we'll definitely be back!

I don't understand the previous reviews? A very nice open-air café, the service was excellent by a team of young people, we ate well, the desserts were tasty, and the coffee was superb. Pleasant musical atmosphere, go for it!
