"La Maison is a restaurant that lives up to its name! When you dine here, you'll feel right at home. That's not only thanks to the kindness of the very welcoming manager, but also to the restaurant's setting, in an old house typical of the North of France. Of course, many restaurants have moved into "old houses", we agree?
But this one has stayed true to its roots, very cosy and intimate. Several rooms are available for you to settle into, and there's even a pleasant little lounge before you go out onto the terrace.
The dark furnishings, in harmony with the wood panelling, create a warm atmosphere, and the dishes add another layer as soon as they arrive in front of you! It's well presented, without fuss but with taste. The foie gras is as good as my grandmother?s, that?s for sure! The meat, tender and juicy, is delicately cooked and served with a variety of accompaniments. When I went there, my meat was accompanied by a two-tone mashed potato (classic mashed potatoes and vitelottes mashed potatoes), it's simple but mastered and slightly twisted, exactly what I like when I go to a restaurant.
Another thing I like, and which above all reassures me, is that the menu isn't ten kilometers long and changes every Saturday? When you come here, you know that everything is fresh, and that you won?t find any out-of-season or bland produce, a bit like coming home (yes, I?m a good cook). A Valenciennes address that's well worth a visit for a meal..." - MANON LEDET from Made in Faro
