La Maison Blanche sur Vaugneray

A very good, simple and efficient place. Warm welcome, the frogs' legs are delicious.

The restaurant, normally closed, opened for reservations because we were a large group. There was a set menu, but other options were available for those who didn't like it. The woman was kind enough to lend us a phone charger and plug it in for us. The main courses were very good, as were the side dishes. Desserts were served quickly, and we even received a birthday candle.

Here, it's very casual, no frills or fuss. I ate at the bar and it didn't bother me at all. The quarter-liter of red wine was decent, and the waitress was welcoming, energetic, and very friendly. The food is home-style: simple, generous, and really good dishes. It's also worth noting that it was almost full at lunchtime, and despite that, the service was very quick. A complete lunch for €19.20 with a quarter-liter of wine and a coffee... A simple and efficient place, just the way we like them.

When I made the reservation, they asked if there would be frogs' legs. I replied that I thought there would be three, plus a children's menu. On the day, my partner didn't want them, but we didn't have a choice; in any case, there wasn't a menu to choose anything else. For an aperitif, they offered me a glass of white wine, but then they were out. The children's menu consisted of minced steak with either pasta or potato gratin, so there wasn't really a choice. The minced steak was rock hard, so it was inedible for a three-year-old. Luckily, the frogs' legs and the potato gratin were quite good. For dessert, it depends on what's left from the day before, but there's no children's dessert, so we got her a waffle. It was topped with an extremely sweet spread that was a complete flop. The dining room is rather small, so it's noisy when there's a large table. The service wasn't great, in short, we don't really plan on coming back.

We came for a spontaneous outing with my mother, who uses a wheelchair. A table was set for her, and they helped her get into the dining room: thank you for the very warm welcome. I was already familiar with the bar area, and the atmosphere there is always friendly and relaxed. The same goes for the restaurant: it's unpretentious, and both the service and the food are simple but well-executed. Excellent value for money on the daily menu, perfectly cooked, and generous portions. There are also very interesting alternatives on the à la carte menu and in the set menu. The atmosphere is fantastic: no fuss, just good company and a good meal. The essentials, then, are what make life worth living and the joy of a well-prepared, well-cooked, and well-served lunch. THANK YOU to the whole team for this much-appreciated experience. See you soon.
