"Le repas était excellent ! Nous avons choisi le plat du jour végétarien composé de riz cuit dans du thé, un cake de butternut, une salade, une poêlée de champignons ainsi que du persil relevé à l'ail des ours. En dessert crème caramel beurre salé et feuilleté au chocolat. Les plats étaient vraiment fins et savoureux, néanmoins ils auraient pu être un peu plus copieux. Le café est accueillant tant par le service que le cadre. Les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables pour la localisation ainsi que de la cuisine maison (15€ pour le plat et 6€ le dessert)."

"Beau café, bien placé qui donne envie de se poser mais... aucun réseau à l'intérieur et aucun accès wifi ! ça rend compliqué les retrouvailles entre amis... Coté service et cuisine, c'est vraiment bien et vraiment bon il manque juste une alternative au lait de vache (boisson végétale) pour qu'on soit parfait !"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un moment suspendu, servi avec le sourire. C’est un après-midi de juin que j’ai poussé la porte du Café Lumière, sans trop savoir ce que j’allais y trouver. J’avais simplement envie de faire une pause, de me poser quelque part où le temps ralentit un peu. Et j’ai bien fait. Dès l’entrée, j’ai été accueilli par Carla, une serveuse aussi souriante que bienveillante, qui a su me mettre à l’aise instantanément. Son attention, sa gentillesse et ses petites recommandations ont vraiment fait la différence tout au long du repas. C’est rare aujourd’hui de tomber sur un service aussi humain, aussi sincère. Côté cuisine, tout était absolument délicieux : j’ai goûté un risotto aux champignons divinement parfumé, accompagné d’un verre de vin blanc parfaitement choisi. En dessert, un moelleux au chocolat fondant à souhait, un vrai coup de cœur. On sent que les plats sont faits avec passion, et ça se ressent dans chaque détail. Mais ce que je retiens surtout, c’est l’atmosphère du lieu. Une lumière douce, une ambiance feutrée, un décor élégant sans en faire trop. On s’y sent bien, vraiment bien. Comme si le temps s’arrêtait quelques instants pour nous laisser savourer l’instant présent. Je suis reparti le cœur léger, avec une seule idée en tête : revenir. Et faire découvrir ce lieu à mes proches. Merci à toute l’équipe, et particulièrement à Carla, pour cette belle parenthèse. À très bientôt."

"On adore sa belle terrasse au milieu des jeux d'enfants du parc de la caserne de Bonne, ses boissons et repas à base de produits de la région (Testez la menthe à l'eau bio, c'est d'une saveur....) et surtout ses desserts maison à tuer !!! Dommage que depuis tant d'années le service soit irrégulier..."

"Friendly welcome from staff who can speak English. 2 options on a Sunday night but both were really good. The prices are reasonable and the ambience relaxed and informal. Don't worry if you cannot speak French as they will help you and not make you feel guilty about it."

"Un pequeño bar restaurante junto a la entrada del cine Le Melies! Tienen menú diario! Solo ofrecen dos platos al día! Uno con carne y el otro normalmente vegetariano! La comida es tipo casera! Normalmente sencilla pero rica! Buen servicio!"
