L'essentiel sur Laval

A really great restaurant! The food is fresh, local, and absolutely delicious! The waitress is super friendly and always smiling, and you can tell right away that she knows her drinks and food menus inside and out. ☺️

We rediscovered this restaurant for a birthday celebration. We were a little disappointed by the decor of the downstairs room, which lacked warmth to create a cozy atmosphere. There was also an unpleasant smell of stale tobacco. The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, but the portions were small and the food wasn't hot enough, which was a shame. One minor complaint about the half pigeon: the wing and leg were impossible to debone. However, the sauce was very good. The desserts were delicious and beautifully presented. The value for money needs improvement. The bar was very cluttered with empty glasses, and there was little space to reach the cash register.

Excellent!!! Bravo to the whole team! Original and excellent cuisine, perfect welcome and advice! I highly recommend it for a quality culinary experience!

A fantastic meal at L’Essentiel! A bistro-style menu with two courses and two desserts, and an original menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients! The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious!

A very nice restaurant where the food is excellent. We appreciated the service; the waitress was passionate about her work. A restaurant we will definitely return to.

A great time with friends. The food was delicious. The wine recommendations and explanations were perfect. The only slight downside was the atmosphere; it could have used a bit more music. Otherwise, nothing to complain about.

Superb atmosphere, very good food at very reasonable prices, accompanied by good wines and liqueurs.

I loved it! The atmosphere is very friendly and refined. We ate very well and were always advised and served with a smile.

A 100% successful evening What a pleasure to introduce this restaurant to visiting friends. Small aperitif in the wine bar area 👍 A stunning meal, both visually and for the taste buds, with subtle and delicate flavors. Careful presentation. A bubbly sommelier who tells you the stories of food and wine pairings like no other. A smiling and pleasant owner! Go there without hesitation, you're sure to have a wonderful evening.

We had a set menu, many of the products are local. We were advised on the choice of wine by the sommelier. We ate very well!
