"It looks terrible from the outside but is bright, clean and modern on the inside. Not a typical service station cafe as it has fresh food, friendly service and good coffee."

"Un endroit très correct pour faire une étape sur l'autoroute. Vue du parking, la cafétéria ressemble plutôt à un simple hangar en tôles. Mais quand on s'approche mieux, et que l'on trouve la porte d'entrée, on voit que c'est un lieu chaleureux, lumineux et très propre. Le local n'est pas bien grand, et le personnel est vraiment très gentil : la serveuse a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour parler notre langue. Les menus proposés (plat chaud + boisson fraîche + café ) sont d'un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour une station d'autoroutes, on ne trouve pas l'équivalent en France ! La wifi fonctionne bien, seul petit bémol : il n'y a pas de toilettes dans cet établissement... Il faut aller dans le local d'en face (la boutique autoroute) pour pouvoir en trouver... Sinon tout est vraiment parfait, surtout la gentillesse et l'accueil qui sont propres à nos voisins Portugais, lieu calme et idéal pour faire une pause et se ravitailler un peu."
