Au Bonheur sur Franconville

25/06/2026: The ONLY thing I can fault this restaurant for is the ambient noise, which is quite loud (I'm sensitive to that). Otherwise, it's fantastic. The service is professional (it sounds silly to say, but it's a rare quality in most restaurants these days). The food is well-prepared, especially the fries, there's a good variety of choices, and it's served quickly. It's still a chain restaurant (it's not a chef's menu), but it's of a good standard. In short, we happily go back every time.

15/06/2026: I had very fond memories of my previous visits, but tonight was such a disappointment. I chose the duck skewer, and the waiter told me it would be cooked pink, which was fine by me. But when the plate arrived, it was more like a skewer of yellow peppers with four measly pieces of overcooked duck (not very digestible for me; I'm still reeling from it). To top it all off, a little flag indicated it would be cooked "rare." Either the chef is colorblind, or we have completely different ideas about how well-cooked it should be. In short, stop ordering duck; it will only do you a disservice. It's a shame, because the other dishes looked quite good, and the desserts too.
