Le Comptoir du Malt sur Saint-Amand-Les-Eaux

05/05/2026: I gave a mixed review some time ago. I stand corrected; we went back and enjoyed the food and the peaceful terrace. The only slight drawback was the "Président" brand butter in the cheese plate of the €45 set menu. Otherwise, everything was perfect. Excellent value for money for the €28 set menu.

12/04/2026: For my wife's birthday, we came to lunch on a Sunday at this highly-rated restaurant. When making the reservation, I mentioned it was a birthday celebration. The welcome was friendly and professional. We ordered two Artisan Gold menus. The starter was nicely presented but a little bland, lacking in flavor. The main course was generous and tasty. The dessert was very generous. The service was adequate, but I must point out a few imperfections that need correcting (presenting the butter with the cheese in its packaging isn't ideal – the lack of explanation for the dish and the cheeses). There was no special attention given to my wife's dessert, which was a bit disappointing. I think paying €118 for this type of meal is slightly too expensive. The quality of the meal isn't in question, quite the opposite. It's a very good restaurant, but a little pricey for its category.
