Perfectly located. Appealing menus. Interpreted in an exciting way. The owner exudes a good mood with a lot of humor. You can see that in the whole restaurant: from Gault Millau recommendations to fines for those who don't stop here. I have never met a French place with such humor.

A laid back bar/restaurant with simple but good quality, and well prepared food. Friendly and down to earth staff. A real pleasure to have drinks and dinner here. Great value for money too.

I have an allergie to shellfish so I very rarely get to enjoy fish, if I do its just one type. The fish mix in cafe de fleuve was a delicate combination of smoked, acidic and salty fish. It was honestly one of the best meals I have had in my life. Thank you Meick for the experience!

Had a meal on a very very quiet Thursday afternoon. The food was good and cooked by the owner. Very reasonable faux filet and 2 beers for 23 euros.

Meike offers the warmest friendliest and biggest welcome. All the staff work hard to make you welcome and give the best service. A short menu, but always includes some local classic dishes, along with more modern variations. Highest quality and superb. We keep going back and can recommend this place to anybody.

We are regular visitors to the Café du Fleuve, and have never been disappointed. Today was no exception - in fact, Maek excelled himself : a massive succulent sea bream with mushrooms, potatoes and salad, and a salmon salad platter too big to shake a stick at. Relaxed atmosphere, popular with locals and ex-pats, and exceptional value for money.
