Le Bayonne sur Montpellier

17/03/2024: I rarely leave mixed reviews usually. But the person who served us asked us to leave a review. So I'm going to do it this time. My partner and I went to try Le Newyorkais because we wanted to discover new restaurants. Thanks to an offer on The Fork platform, we could benefit from -50% on a selection of products in this restaurant. First surprise when you arrive there: desserts are not included in the reduction. It was indicated on The Fork "excluding menus and drinks", but not "excluding desserts". The setting is nice. We really liked the decoration of the small terrace. We started by ordering a smoothie which, despite its high price, was honestly delicious. We then ordered a pasta dish each: pesto and salmon. The prices of these dishes were 13€ and 17€ respectively. And that's where it gets stuck, especially for the pesto: paying €13 for 100g of penne with pesto and parmesan seemed much too expensive for the quantity offered. Luckily we had The Fork discount. And again, even at half price, I found it expensive. As for me, I finished my meal elsewhere 🫤 The people who took care of the service that day were quite friendly. That, we must admit :) I also give them the benefit of the doubt, because they indicated twice that "the chef (cook) was not there at lunchtime". There is a student menu for €9 on the menu which seems a little more interesting. However, the big downside regarding the quality/quantity/price ratio of the main course persists. And the main course is still essential in a meal.
