Les Relais d'Alsace

We've been to Alencon a few times and our preferred restaurant was shut, so we wandered around the town and ended up here. The good points were that the waiters were friendly and helpful, they allow dogs in the restaurant, and our shared starter was really tasty. I had some sort of fish for my main course, which was fine but nothing special and very plainly served. My husband had an extremely meaty meal lots of different types of pork and sausages with choucroute which he didn't enjoy, but really it was his fault for ordering it.

I visit Alençon a few times a year and this used to be a favourite. Last visit was a big disappointment. The service was mediocre. I had a ‘choucroute de la mer’ which was good, until I bit into a rotten prawn. When I reported this to the waiter, he brushed it away. Another in my party had tagliatelli with what should have been ‘une poêlée de St Jacques avec ail et persil’. There was 4 scallops and they had hardly seen any garlic or persil. Again, the manageress brushed the complaint away and considered that we just did not understand how the cooking should be done. It was not pleasant.

Like many other reviewers, we felt our hand had been forced as we were staying in Alençon on a Sunday evening and this seems to be the only restaurant which is open! However we enjoyed a good evening with Alsatian food served by a very friendly waiter who even protected us from a noisy crowd who had not booked but wanted to sit next to us! If you like Gewurztraminer go for the expensive one the difference is incredible!

Stayed at Ibis Alencon but no restaurant on Sunday. In fact all restaurants in Alencon closed on Sundays except this one. Did not expect much but was very surprised. Large restaurant but filled up quickly. Good wide menu including shell fish and good wine list. Good service and well cooked food. Apparently there is a chain of these restaurants in NW France. It encourages me to visit another
