Café du Commerce sur Lyons-La-Foret

29/03/2026: Excellent culinary experience and excellent service. We had a Datota Box for the gourmet restaurant La Licorne Royale... But since we had been very late in using it, and the restaurant no longer accepted it... In a very accommodating manner, the management of La Licorne offered to seat us instead at the Bistrot du Grand Cerf (thanks to Julie, an employee whom I thank here, as well as her management). On Friday evening, March 27th, we were warmly welcomed by a head waiter who was perfectly aware of how our reservation should have worked with the box: starter - main course - dessert and a complimentary bottle of water. After an aperitif chosen from the menu accompanied by a warm amuse-bouche, we had a soft-boiled egg in puff pastry with spinach and hollandaise sauce as a starter, which was cooked to perfection. For our main courses, my wife had roasted pike-perch fillet and I had the pork knuckle in a pot-au-feu. Two generous and delicious courses. For dessert, we chose the Baked Alaska (which, incidentally, isn't actually Norwegian), flambéed with Grand Marnier tableside. The wait between courses was very reasonable, and the background music was very subdued, reminiscent of a piano bar. We weren't bothered by the noise of the other diners, but admittedly, there weren't many of them. A place to recommend.

23/02/2026: The setting is pleasant. The service is adequate, but we waited quite a while. The dishes we chose were good but simple. The prices are far too high.
