Le Rideau Cramoisi sur Saint-Sauveur-Le-Vicomte

07/07/2026: I had lunch at this restaurant today. The welcome and the setting were truly pleasant. I ordered the traditional menu, which included foie gras as a starter, which was very good. However, like another reviewer, I was disappointed by the main course and dessert. When such dishes are offered on the menu, one expects to be truly delicious. Yet, my beef fillet had sinew, and I often struggled to cut it when I came across it. I didn't like the peppercorn sauce, and I was offered a mushroom sauce, which I accepted. And that's where my disappointment truly hit me: the sauce was tasteless, with only a few sparse pieces of button mushrooms. It was either made with powdered stock or was similar to commercially available Maggi sauces. As for the vegetables served with it, they resembled the frozen ones I sometimes buy at home, without any seasoning, salt, pepper, or butter. The only thing I enjoyed was the fries; as for dessert, an ice cream sundae: the Clément sundae, which consisted of two scoops of Carte d'Or ice cream (or so we were told) and whipped cream that was too stiff, heavy, and almost like butter. Truly, what a disappointment. I hope the Chef reads this: there's room for improvement with the sauces: at the very least, a sauce base made with bones and fresh vegetables instead of powdered stock; fresh, seasonal vegetables, even if less varied, instead of frozen ones; and at least a little fruit coulis on your ice cream sundaes, which are sundaes in name only; for me, it was just two scoops of ice cream. I'll only commend him for his foie gras.
