Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine brasserie gastronomique

26/04/2026: Excellent service, very good food. Highly recommended.

22/04/2026: Avoid at all costs!!! Horrible smell of fried food in the brasserie!! They refuse to serve coffee even when you order drinks with it. When some restaurant owners complain about not having customers, you have to wonder whose fault it is. Furthermore, Carole, I ordered two coffees, a Coke, and a lemonade, which you can't refuse to serve in a cocktail bar as you describe it. You explicitly said: "It's happy hour, I'm not serving that." And finally, if I want to eat Metro desserts, I go to Metro; it's simpler. As a restaurant owner myself, here's my advice: you can offer whatever you want on your menu, but you don't refuse a customer who, at 6:30 pm, asks for a lemonade and a Coke. It's on these orders that you make your money. Have a good season.

16/04/2026: It appears this hotel is now closed. I was notified on 13th March 2026 that the owner had died suddenly, which is very sad to hear. The website is still up, but you can't book any dates. I had a booking in April and the hotel had taken 50% deposit of the fees from me. They have said they will refund me, but it has never arrived, so on 3rd April 2026, after contacting them again, they said it would arrive "soon," but I think 'soon' appears to be a flexible concept. Time to contact my credit card company.

01/06/2026: Outdoor seating with fresh produce and simple flavors. Excellent experience.

28/02/2026: Always a very pleasant welcome. A neighborhood restaurant with excellent, freshly prepared food. The menu is varied. We always enjoy having lunch there.

25/04/2026: Excellent food and very good staff

04/03/2026: Poor value for money. It's just a cafeteria. Very expensive for what I ate: a single dish.

09/04/2026: A warm welcome with smiles and kindness, and a very generous and delicious meal. We will gladly return.

15/01/2026: We had the pleasure of dining at your establishment. The culinary experience was delightful; the meat was absolutely sublime and cooked to perfection. We also appreciated the kindness and smile of the waitress, which contributed to making our visit so enjoyable. We would like to thank you for this excellent experience.

12/05/2026: A perfect stay, a relaxing atmosphere, excellent cuisine, a quality spa area, thank you for this pleasant moment.

02/05/2026: An ideal setting to relax and take time for yourself. The location is perfect. The spa area and treatments are excellent. The restaurant service is very good. Moreover, we were welcomed by Florian, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay!

22/12/2025: A SHAME — RUN AWAY! We chose Les Tables de Philippe because of its advertised "gastronomic" positioning, linked to Les Chalets de Philippe. The gap between the promise and the reality is unfortunately obvious. We came via the Gourmet Passport, which has already allowed us to discover some excellent gastronomic establishments, including some at reduced rates. The price paid therefore has no bearing on the standards or the legitimacy of our opinion. We were informed at the beginning of the meal that the current Italian chef had only arrived a few days or weeks prior. This information is important because it means that older photos and reviews visible on Google do not necessarily reflect what is offered today. The menu offered during our visit was as follows: – beef carpaccio, – pumpkin risotto with sausage pieces, – vitello tonnato, accompanied by raw vegetables (a simple bowl of salad combining lettuce and a little red cabbage), – aged, but very young, cheeses, – followed by a moist chocolate cake with yogurt sauce. Overall, it's very classic Italian cuisine: recipes lacking any particular creativity, predictable flavors, basic textures, and a presentation without any noticeable effort. It's acceptable, but unremarkable, and far from the claimed gastronomic level. The service was also subpar. One of the waiters spoke neither French nor English, only Italian, making any interaction difficult. His service was very abrupt, with no apparent etiquette. A second waiter was more conventional, pleasant, but offered nothing of value. No presentation of the dishes was offered: the plates were simply placed on the table, and the staff immediately withdrew. During our conversation with the owner, he explained that "this isn't French gastronomy, but haute Italian cuisine," which he claimed was the work of a chef trained at one of Capri's finest schools. He also implied that, as holders of the Gourmet Passport, our comments were of little consequence and that the restaurant would always be full anyway. However, when we visited, the restaurant was far from full, which raises questions about the consistency of his claims. The conversation took place in a tone that was not conducive to discussion and offered no real opportunity for self-reflection, further exacerbating our disappointment. We didn't take any photos—or rather, we didn't even consider it—as the presentation of the dishes was so poor. To get an idea, simply search for the dishes listed above on Google and look at the first corresponding Google Images result. Conclusion: If you're looking for a truly exceptional gastronomic experience, both in terms of food and service, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're looking for classic, decent, but nothing more, dishes, then this is the right place for you.

21/12/2025: We would like to share our experience regarding our dinner at Les Tables de Philippe in Chamonix. We had booked a six-course tasting menu for €95. Upon arrival, we were informed of a change of chef, which we accepted without difficulty. However, a new five-course menu was offered in its place, at the same price. Presented as a gourmet Italian menu, it unfortunately proved very disappointing. While the carpaccio was acceptable, it was rather simple. The next course, a pumpkin and sausage risotto, lacked any real finesse. The vitello tonnato was the most disappointing element: meat drowning in sauce, accompanied by a simple bowl of salad, whereas the menu advertised raw vegetables. As I don't eat raw vegetables, I asked for an alternative and was served mini-quiches that seemed to have been frozen, which is hardly acceptable in a restaurant claiming to be gourmet. The cheeses were bland, and the dessert—a chocolate cake with a yogurt sauce—was something you'd expect from a brasserie. Considering the price of the menu, it was a complete disappointment. Furthermore, the service was anything but gourmet. We should point out that we had the Gourmet Passport, and therefore only one of the two menus was charged. However, our complaint is not at all related to the amount paid, but rather to the quality of the meal, which fell far short of the standards expected of a gourmet menu. Finally, when we tried to express our disappointment to the owner, he was dismissive, arguing that having the Gourmet Passport didn't give us the right to complain. A regrettable and unprofessional reaction that only exacerbated our poor experience.

26/03/2026: I really liked the pizza and the service.

18/03/2026: Excellent Alpine pizza. Top-notch pizza maker. Highly recommended.

08/05/2026: Ideally located, this hotel is simply magnificent. The ground-floor room was spacious, the sunset from the terrace was breathtaking, and there were walks accessible directly from the hotel with incredible views, all surrounded by eco-grazing. Everything was perfect. The welcome was warm and professional. Breakfast, featuring homemade and local products, was both simple and simply delicious.

22/04/2026: The head waiter pushes you to buy more (alcohol, bottled water, cheeses, etc.). He uses pompous language without any distinction. The wines are exorbitantly and unjustifiably priced. The cheapest wine, a Muscadet Luneau-Papin (€13.50 in stores), was charged at €44! Bread is served very sparingly. We were fortunate enough to check the bill. Tap water was charged at €5. The €45 reservation fee was not taken into account by the same head waiter. A huge disappointment considering the establishment's reputation; it felt like a rip-off. We will not be returning.

26/05/2026: So what can I say… the decor is very beautiful, the terrace is inviting, but the service… well, avoid it… unfriendly waiters, and it's the beginning of the season… you ask a question and you're bothering them… so we hesitated to eat there, but we'll pass… I don't understand people in the restaurant industry who behave like this… Gentlemen, a smile and directions to the restrooms instead of continuing to talk amongst yourselves, criticizing customers at an outside table (I was gestured to indicate the floor)…

26/05/2026: Excellent restaurant, lots of choice in savory crepes, efficient waiter, I recommend it.

30/04/2026: We hadn't planned to stop, but we absolutely had to charge our car. Our app showed us a charging station, and... it was private to the hotel! Someone came out, the manager I think, and offered to charge us even though we weren't guests, with such spontaneity and kindness! The staff is fantastic, so we had a great breakfast; it's very clean and pleasant!! We'll definitely be back!

15/04/2026: Very warm welcome, excellent meal, I will definitely come back

14/06/2026: Very nice and the service from the young people was super friendly. Thank you.

01/06/2026: Excellent place to relax after exertion. Good service.

25/05/2026: Service was too slow. 15-minute wait for a drink, even though other customers arrived and were served. You have to look the part to get served...

24/05/2026: A new chef in the kitchen and it shows in the food! Excellent cuisine, I highly recommend it!

28/04/2026: It has to be said that this picturesque place, Vézelay, is a bit run-down. The state of the streets isn't great! Many of the houses and shops are unoccupied and in a state of disrepair! You can tell you're in the last century, the era of Vidocq or stagecoaches! I visited this little town during a trip to Auxerre, so I stopped in Vézelay, which had been a long-held plan. The basilica was under renovation at the time! I didn't visit the inn, so I can't comment on that.

20/04/2026: I didn't use the hotel's services, just the restaurant. I enjoyed the food (including the vegetarian options), however, two shortcomings in the service at our table concerned me. The staff remained courteous and apologized, but offered no compensation.
