Restaurant la Pinte Comtoise sur Pontarlier

Excellent food, very friendly, you should go...

A very good restaurant where we received a very warm welcome and, above all, ate very well. I highly recommend it. A word of advice: you should book, even for two people.

Best restaurant in Pontarlier, value for money. Excellent food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. And, to top it all off, a wine list with reasonable prices. They even have excellent, inexpensive wine by the carafe. Pure bliss!

Very good restaurant, I recommend!

We had a wonderful meal! A very warm welcome despite being a group of six without a reservation. Refined local cuisine. Go without hesitation, but with your mouth open!

It's always a pleasure to come and enjoy a good meal at La Pinte Comtoise. The atmosphere is friendly and the owner is always friendly and smiling.

We had dinner, and it was just perfect, both in terms of the quantity served and the dish itself. I highly recommend it.

Dinner for 3 on September 19th. Reservation by phone for 8 p.m.; the caller indicated: "8 p.m. but no later." A bit off-putting and undoubtedly selective, as during our dinner, some people arrived well after 8 p.m. without being turned away.... The dishes were decent except for the trout fillets, which were a bit overcooked. One of the guests asked if it was possible to replace the potato/vegetable side dish with vegetables only. The response was: "I have to save some for the others..." The side dish consisted of 3 carrots and 2 other vegetables.... Again, a bit rough! These would almost be minor details if the service hadn't been so long: at least 40/45 minutes between the main course and dessert. Obviously, the only person in the dining room was overwhelmed and had a hard time keeping up with the pace of serving and welcoming customers in a busy restaurant. An additional server, at least that evening, was essential. It was certainly an investment, but it guaranteed smoother service. Dessert made up for it a little, as we finished with a delicious chocolate mousse. I gave it 3 stars for the overall experience. I hope the restaurant owners will be committed to correcting these minor flaws, which doesn't seem out of reach.

Typical Franche-Comté cuisine, well presented, attentive service

A superb and extremely generous morel crust! A Comtoise cuisine that reminded me of flavors from the past... I loved it!
