La Fiesta - Lens

The colour purple got my attention, already from the outside and later during our lunch. Crowded at noon. Fast, polite service. Almost no waiting time. Good quality food and plenty of it. If I also drank a bit? Yeah maybe: a kir to start with, then red wine, then white wine, then again white wine and to end with: red wine. Expensive? Don't know, I did not have to pay, we were a group of 34; but if you want to know: check their website. La Fiesta is also famous for their dinner/dancing. Will I go back? Probably yes... for dancing !

Lens is not awash with restaurants and we were about to drive on elsewhere when we spotted La Fiesta a little way down the road from the town square. We are so glad we did. The restaurant is smart, clean and business-like; the welcome is warm and attentive; the dishes are delicious and generous (what a buffet! . And all this for the princely sum of 9,90 euros per plat du jour! Really excellent value. Do go on a hunt for it as the frontage is quite discrete and you could easily miss it!

After visiting the Louvre Museum at Lens the four of us went into the town for a look around and a bite of lunch. A parking space was found in the Boulevard Basly and we went into a nearby bakers shop and whilst there we asked about restaurants in the area and we were directed to La Fiesta. A very nice looking front and inviting atmosphere and we were soon shown to a table by a very charming and helpful waitress. We were made to feel very welcome and despite our poor knowledge of french we had the menu options explained and had a very enjoyable lunch. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff sense of humour put us at our ease and made us feel most welcome. We would certainly return if in the area again.

We are regular customers of this restaurant. In the new year, we spent a great time with a family meal. Quality.We also enjoy meals on a weekday for 10 euros for a very good fresh buffet. Congratulations to the whole team for your smile and professionalism.

We eat well all the weeks very pleasant personal 5 menus of the day super cards close to the lover possibility dancing evening
