Very pretty restaurant just on the outskirts of Giverny and a bit more away from the busy tourist area. Open Wednesdays but no reservations for lunch (typical of Giverny . We were glad to have a table under the covered terrace as it did rain a bit but we didn't feel it. The stream goes right past and a pretty wildflower field opposite. It's a really lovely setting. Food was very good. I had the fish (dorade filet, sauté potatoes, leeks, carrots, turnips, and a sauce with lots of interesting additions like small pansy flowers and an orange dust around the edge of the plate. Such a pretty dish! which was delicious but unfortunately the chef put soy sauce in despite me telling them I had a glut...
Guinguettes were popular open-air drinking/café establishments located in the suburbs of Paris and other cities in France. Guinguettes would also serve as restaurants and, often, as dance venues. The origin of the term comes from guinguet, indicating a sour white light local wine. In the town of Giverny our host recommended this popular open plan, open to the elements, rustic restaurant. Located across the road from our B&B and adjacent to the river that runs through the Gardens of Monet. It's an interesting setting, a deck of timber construction with a canopy that overlooks the cattle grazing on the meadows beyond. A simply delicious meal with wine for two weary travellers on a Saturday eve...
The restaurant’s bucolic surrounding was nice BUT its layout was basic, the food tasteless and prices definitively too high. We had a small slice of quiche with a little salad at 14€ and a tartar with industrial chips at 20€. The kind of tourist trap you expect to find in Paris near Eiffel tower or Montmartre… Positive reviews on this place were probably written by restaurant owner’s friends or relatives.
Well worth checking out, despite being on the way out of Giverney. The lights on the road help, and you will get a very friendly welcome and great food even if it's not the biggest menu around. It's right next to the small river and listening to the bull frogs whilst you eat is à new experience. My wife and I greatly enjoyed our evening there.

This place is casual with friendly service. The food is well prepared and very fresh. It is informal and relaxed in a great setting by the river. Its best enjoyed when the weather is nice as its all outdoors. There is one table that is covered in case of rain.
A friendly informal eating experience. Unpretentious French food at its best. Great salad, charcuterie and cheeses. Lovely outdoor setting beside a stream. For me it was the perfect end to a perfect day visiting Monet's garden.q
A really nice little spot to have lunch and a drink. The food was good . My friend had an excellent beer but I had to send my fist glass of wine back as it was off. They happily replaced it right away of course.
The bruschetta and steak tartare were both very good as well as a Camembert appetizer. The service was friendly and the prices par for the region. Lovely atmosphere on a warm summer evening.

The setting of looking over the fields with cows and a babbling stream is sublime. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food was tasty and well prepared and at an appropriate price
Staff are very rude and unaccomodating, Prices are also expensive. Plenty of other better options to chose from.
