On a adoré notre bref passage aux Copains d’abord ! Le patron est haut en couleur, nous avons été très bien servis par Malou qui on l’espère reviendra pour une nouvelle saison l’été prochain ! Rapport qualité prix au top et terrasse idéale pour abriter nos vélos pendant la grêle. À la prochaine ! Shirine et Chloé

Café avec un beau cadre et une âme! Une ambiance.... Très bien placé au centre du village ( terrasse au soleil... jolie fontaine) ... déco de bon goût, des plantes, musique bien choisie ( rock, reggae, variété, blues, chanson francaise, etc) prix abordables... patron sympa et blagueur avec son caractère authentique du plateau Ardéchois! ... Soyez respectueux et vous serez respecté en retour. Point bar! motard friendly jeux en libre service: cartes, échecs, dames, dames chinoises, carrom, tock... (Ps: Ne font plus de Restauration) on peut réserver des moments en privatisé... il ya parfois des concerts.. diner spectacle... dancing.

Café avec un patron très sympathique ! Bel accueil, belle ambiance d’un bar de village et d’excellentes glaces d’Ardèche ! Nous étions en galère car nous sommes partis camper sans nos doudoune (c’est comme partir sans tente) Le patron nous a prêté des pulls ! De la confiance et de l’entraide ! Un grand merci !

Le café du village où nous sommes bien accueillis dans un esprit familial ! Emplacement idéal pour regarder passer les coureurs de l’ardéchoise, un vrai bonus !
