La Salle à Manger à Crest sur Crest

The cuisine was refined, flavorful, and delicately presented (except for the poultry dish, which I found rather disappointing). The service was pleasant and attentive. The setting was cozy, although I felt the lighting could be improved. A lovely place for local gourmet cuisine. The price reflects this: €130 for three people, drinks included.

The welcome is always very warm, the dishes are prepared with care: balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautiful presentation. The new decor is also very nice. Everyone enjoyed their meal; thank you to the whole team, and see you soon.

We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of our host. It's clear that La Salle à Manger prioritizes fresh, local ingredients, which is a major plus. However, the decor struck us as a bit cold and unwelcoming, accentuated by the lighting, and the restaurant being almost empty on a Saturday night (even in the off-season) didn't help create a convivial atmosphere. As for the food, our experience was mixed. While the ingredients were fresh, the flavors sometimes lacked the necessary depth and balance. My companion's menu had a few flaws: the salmon appetizer was overpowering with celery, and the chicken in the main course was unfortunately very dry. The "cheese platter" for dessert, reduced to a single piece of dry goat cheese, was disappointing. As for my mushroom risotto, although flavorful, the rice was undercooked. In conclusion, the experience wasn't the culinary adventure we had hoped for. Furthermore, during checkout, we noticed a billing error (an overcharge of €8), which was quickly corrected after we pointed it out, but it left an impression of unprofessionalism. In short, the potential is there, particularly with the selection of fresh produce, but the execution and atmosphere could be significantly improved.

The staff were very pleasant. However, the price was too high 😬 for the small portions. The presentation was average. The panna cotta was an extra €5, and the beef was also a very small portion...

Disappointed… I had reserved a table for four for a late hour, and the waitress had specified (after confirmation from the kitchen) that we would only have access to the daily special. Perfect! Except that upon arrival, the daily special was no longer available, so we had to order à la carte, which is quite different in price… The portions weren't very generous either. The result was a bill much higher than expected. What a shame, I won't be back.

Decent meal, very disappointing and not very friendly service, I am quite disappointed but I will surely come back because it is quite hard to judge in one go and there were a lot of customers, which may explain this average welcome.

Very good restaurant in Crest. The food is excellent, the service professional and the setting very pleasant.

Each dish was a surprising culinary discovery.

Very well received, warm welcome, very good meal, impeccable service, I recommend this restaurant

We were very well received. We came with two young children and it was absolutely no problem. There's even a changing table available. For the meal, we enjoyed excellent seasonal cuisine. I highly recommend it.
