Manuela’s opinion
Why go there?
For the story of La Popote, settled at the edge of Troyes : a name that recalls the time when this building used to shelter La Popote, the famous canteen of the factory Doré Doré.
For the authentic cachet of La Popote, its beautiful Norman-style front, its woodworks full of character, and its antique tiled-floor.
For its few pictures that recount Fontaine Les Grès's history.
For the restaurant's traditional French cuisine, livened up by some of the chef's contemporary creations.
For Franck's winelist : La Popote's oenologist is very good at finding famous Burgundy wines produced by small winegrowers.
For the events set up by La Popote every last friday of the month, such as wine tastings.
With who?
With a good-food lover who won't give up when it come to the dessert !
