Le Bistrot du Broc sur Bourron-Marlotte

15/05/2026: The chef is easy to talk to and very friendly. The cuisine is refined and excellent. They have a very nice wine cellar! The grounds are charming and the service is top-notch.

03/05/2026: We came back with fond memories of our first visit… but this time, disappointment was the order of the day. The service, however, remained very good: a pleasant and professional team. On the other hand, several things marred the experience. First, the bread service was truly stingy. We particularly enjoyed the flaky bread, but it was impossible to get any throughout the meal. And to top it all off, the waitress offered us “whatever she had left,” which was three pieces of white bread… quite frustrating. The dishes were good, but not memorable. Nothing bad, but nothing that warranted real enthusiasm either. The cheese selection was also disappointing: offering the exact same one (apple Camembert) as a year ago gave an impression of a lack of innovation. The dessert, for its part, was clearly not up to par: a strawberry cake with a rather coarse almond biscuit, accompanied by a kind of rose sauce with a very strong, almost “Indian” flavor. The whole thing lacked finesse and balance. The appetizers were also very disappointing in terms of quantity, almost symbolic. Finally, we felt rushed to leave: the servers started clearing the tables and cutlery before we had finished. This unpleasant feeling of being ushered out spoiled the end of the meal. In short: friendly service, but an overall experience that was a step down from our first visit.
