Le Royal sur Cormelles-Le-Royal

09/03/2024: The only downside for this restaurant is that you have to find it! It is advisable to use a GPS as the establishment is located in the middle of an industrial zone. It is located in the Jean Mantelet space and for good reason, this gentleman, formerly the founder of Moulinex, was the inventor of the... potato masher which therefore made his fortune. The clientele is made up of regulars who come here to eat well with fast and efficient service. And we eat well, very well in fact, in a very warm atmosphere, even in the middle of the midday blast. For this group meal, we were offered, as a starter, a forest terrine or a Crunchy vegetable parfait. My choice fell on the terrine: it is famous, fresh, and slightly spicy. We ask for more. The other guests were very happy with the Perfect Freshness. For the main course, most of us opted for a fillet of John Dory with pesto and its mashed potatoes with olive oil. The title of the dish omits the zucchini and the almost candied tomato with pesto. The fish is really delicious, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of fat. It is particularly fine. For dessert, I opted, and without regret, for the creamy chocolate whipped cognac verrine. A mousse as we like them, while the others appreciated a lemon tart-style glass. The bill is reasonable with kyr, drink, and coffee, friendly service, and in a friendly bistro atmosphere. The right place for a good lunch outside the city center. Free parking guaranteed. I think you need to make a reservation because it gets crowded. The place is clearly popular with knowledgeable regulars.
