La Taverne des Rois, the new must-see in Port-Cergy

Opened in April 2016, taking over from a well-known establishment in the town, the Taverne des Rois has become a must in Cergy and its region in just a few months. A restaurant with a chic and cosy setting, a place for many unforgettable evenings, a cocktail bar whose reputation is well established, the establishment is a winner on many fronts

Indeed, it is difficult to resist the Taverne des Rois, which combines many assets: party, restaurant, theme evenings, bar... and all this in an outstanding decoration, which has managed to combine space, light and warmth

The space is more than 200 seats indoors, which guarantees you the possibility of eating out - whatever the time of day - but also many outdoor placements. Whether it is the terrace overlooking the port or the one offering a breathtaking view of the Oise - a guaranteed country effect - the Taverne des Rois is open as never before to a quality environment. And that this one is conducive to a change of scenery! Just a stone's throw from the bustling city of Cergy, the change of atmosphere is bluffing: Port-Cergy, its marina, its river and its barges, its nearby leisure base, its calm, its many attractions that will make your visit here a moment out of time. Accessible, the establishment is certainly accessible: by car, or by RER, the station closest to line A being about ten minutes walk away, with buses also shuttling between these two points.

The light, it is the openings on the outside, the vast picture windows, but also the lighting of the place, never aggressive, always subdued, and so well thought out that one immediately feels at ease

The warmth is finally the terribly well designed decoration of this Tavern of the Kings. Vast leather armchairs, a huge bar, stones, wood, carpeting and even a motorbike on one of the bars, everything has been imagined so that here, the cosy lounge setting is an immediate invitation to relax. The Goulhen family, the happy owner of the premises, has thus largely succeeded in its wager to transform a pleasant franchised tavern into a place with its own personality. It has seized every opportunity and enhanced the vast 450 m² space to make it accessible to all, while forming a team whose friendliness, speed and efficiency are all assets.

The à la carte menu offers a wide choice, with one requirement: the freshness of the products, from carefully selected meat to fish that is beyond reproach, the priority being given to "homemade" or bread from the village. The objective is clear: "To offer a simple and quality cuisine" according to the Goulhen family. Here too, the mission is accomplished, whether it's salads, sauerkraut, burgers (pepper, franchouillard, Norwegian...), pizzas, flammenkueches and, of course, meat and fish, not forgetting the specialty of the place: the whole roasted Camembert! A dish of the day, but also judicious formulas, including lunch, allow you to enjoy a meal at a lower cost. Finally, special mention for the desserts, if you have room left: French toast style brioche, soft chocolate cake with its heart of caramel, Nutella tiramisu and broken buck suede or the inevitable profiteroles are all irresistible sweets to end a generous meal. Here, we serve you every hour, so that small cravings as well as big appetites don't have to wait for a specific time to feast: the Taverne des Rois has also thought of this, and this 7 days a week - no weekly closing! Finally, the menu proudly displays a vast choice of carefully selected wines and champagnes.

But the Taverne des Rois is also a friendly bar/pub, for a snack break, or to have fun late at night, because here there is no lack of entertainment. Thus the sports broadcasts - the place is equipped with impressive giant screens - are numerous, and the atmosphere is there. Another string to the festive bow of the establishment, the concerts. The lounge atmosphere is a must, a pianist makes your Sunday lunch a gastronomic and musical interlude: music is never far from you! Among the highlights of the place, cabaret evenings are very popular. The Tavern of the Kings becomes even more animated for an evening on a specific theme - Brazil, for example - and becomes the place for all forms of exoticism and celebrations that are hard to resist. Be careful, the reputation of these evenings is already well established, it is imperative to book, otherwise it will be your turn!

Cocktail lovers, whether it's an after-work party or a friendly get-together with friends, you'll be served here. Prepared on the spot, with a know-how that we haven't had the chance to observe for a long time, behave yourself: you have dozens of references here, at affordable prices: Cuba Libre, Maï Thaï, Caïpirinha or Piña Colada, in single or double mode, without forgetting the alcohol-free versions, nothing is missing! Students, tourists or locals, the clientele is varied and, in a short year, has appropriated this address which is well worth it.

We have been waiting for a long time for the beautiful port of Cergy, a quality establishment worthy of this setting where, whatever the time of day, whatever the desire, whatever the hunger, you will find what you need. A place without comparison, the Taverne des Rois has succeeded in becoming, by dint of its quality, conviviality and efficiency, this long-awaited place
