Crescendo restaurant - La Roche-sur-Yon

Haven’t been here for a while. We always used to enjoy it. However todays visit was disappointing. I ordered the tagliatelle dish and it was very bland and tasteless. My wife went for the Caesar salad which just consisted of a mountain of lettuce leaves with very salty grilled bread. The dessert section had a good selection which stopped me only giving a one star.

It’s difficult to imagine shopping at a large out of town Tesco or Asda in the UK and wanting to spend any time lingering for a drink or something to eat in the attached restaurant which is a measure of why these places are popular. You can buy decent well cooked food and the usual range of alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices in comfortable surroundings served by cheerful staff. It’s not exactly a destination for a family birthday but as a way of making the whole shopping experience more bearable its way better than anything en Angleterre

Compared to Flunch this is above average in terms of quality and range on offer. Try cousous on a Saturday (lunch or dinner) and you can get seconds of both the cousous and the vegetables. Good range of fresh starters and deserts. Cashier was a bit rude -but could have been an 'off ' day.

We came here for lunch and would have chosen a hot meal. However we saw the starter salad selection and settled for that. There was a very good choice of ingredients, which was very well presented.

A good cafeteria with friendly person and correct dishes. only disappointment, chocolate mousse very very sweet and so immangeable, but still usually very good.
