Le Champ Libre

Decent veggieburger. slightly expensive €15) but good portion size. w cheap location near eurostar!

What a wonderful place. such friendly staff and so hospitable. an excellent choice of a stop, while waiting for the eurostar, so comfortable! right opposite the eurostar we sat outside on the paved, traditional French cafe style. fast, efficient. service and delicious coffee and tee. a family recovers time while watching the hectic and the trubel of men wonderful.

We called here for a drink and ordered a craft of wine. No crafts left we were told!!!! But the waiter offered us individual glasses of wine...which we assumed he'd charge at the craft rate. Not only did we get charged each glass individually ...the wine itself was pretty rank. I think he saw us as tourists that wouldn't return. Well we've returned with this review

Lured us in with the false promise of something that wasn't bland (a Senegalese dish). Waited for us to order drinks then announced it wasn't available. Forced to select from the otherwise exclusively bland menu and thus endure a boring meal because of their misrepresentation....Shameful. That's my experience. My mate also ordered a steak which is impossible to cut let alone eat. Avoid.

As a change from our usual last meal at Terminus Nord, we went a few doors along to Le Champ Libre. Here we enjoyed the best onion soup ever, followed by an average bavette [skirt] steak as the rumpsteak had sold out. Service was excellent,...all done by one man and his wounded colleague behind the bar.The interior was simple and clean with room for our bags. And all much cheaper than down the street. We did miss the elegance of Terminus Nord but we did enjoy our visit.
