La Réale sur Chalon-Sur-Saone

My partner and I came for lunch today, and overall the meal was very pleasant. The service was friendly and the food was good; no complaints there. However, I'd like to share a more personal experience that unfortunately marred our meal. Upon arrival, a customer already seated off to the side made discriminatory and racist remarks loudly towards us. I didn't react at the time to avoid any conflict, but his words made me very uncomfortable, as if we weren't welcome. This affected the entire meal. I want to emphasize that this doesn't reflect on the restaurant itself; the crème brûlée was truly excellent, as was the rest of the meal. But this kind of situation can really impact a customer's experience. I simply hope that everyone can feel welcome, respected, and at ease.

The service was beyond perfect, the food was superb. We had a wonderful time and will be back very soon! A truly fantastic find, we loved it!

Excellent food; you won't be hungry when you leave. Very friendly staff.

Hello, we came on Saturday and received a wonderful welcome. The waitress was very professional. The dishes were hot and beautifully presented, and delicious. Thank you!

A very good meal, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The soft-boiled eggs with salmon were perfectly cooked. The duck breast was excellent. And the skate wing was a generous portion! Highly recommended.

The food is excellent and you're rarely disappointed. The problem lies in the dining room! It's so crowded that the noise becomes almost unbearable.

A good restaurant with a large menu, which usually puts me off, but that's explained by the large staff. So, all is well in that regard. I had a perfectly cooked grilled sea bream. Delicious. However, I was rather disappointed by the side dish of unripe tomatoes and green beans... not ideal at the end of January. The service is very efficient. Impossible to give less than 5 stars. Yet the restaurant was packed. Overall, a good experience, but consider using seasonal produce 😉

Good place. Welcoming staff and good food.

A wonderful discovery. The restaurant offers traditional dishes with a slightly gourmet touch, such as the veal sweetbreads, which are becoming increasingly rare, and the linen napkins and tablecloths. I opted for kidneys with gratin and béarnaise sauce. I recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant was full. The service was quick.

Very disappointed. We used to come here as a family. Today, unfortunately, we were seated in a tiny room with a table of 10-15 disrespectful people. The meal was far too salty, lacking any real flavor as the salt overpowered the other ingredients. We politely pointed this out to the waiter. What should have been a pleasant experience turned into an ordeal and was very unpleasant, especially considering the high price. Very disappointed, I don't plan to return, and I don't think they care at all. Thanks anyway to the young waiter who apologized for the inconvenience caused by the table of 10. It's a shame about such a change, as this used to be an exceptional restaurant.
