    Great food, nice wine recommendations and quiet enough to have perfect conversations with our group Our party had steak frites, salmon, chicken pesto sandwich and flatbread. We enjoyed the recommended white wine with our meal which paired perfectly. We also splurged on dessert and had gelato, crème brûlée, cheesecake and chocolate mousse. All foods were wonderful. Service was great. Our waiter was helpful and attentive but not overly so. We enjoyed walking the grounds after our meal. A great experience. Would visit again.

    We've been visiting Cafe Routier for years and its always a wonderful experience. The food is superb, the ambiance lovely and the service outstanding. We went last night for my mothers 90th birthday and had another memorable meal with them and as always they did a splendid job making sure everything was perfect. I can say without reservation that the cafe is a gem here on the shoreline and as locals, we go there often. Anyone looking for superb food, wonderful service and a most memorable meal should consider visiting, locals and tourists alike when in Westbrook.
