Saint-Hilaire-La-Palud
11/07/2026: A lunch I won't forget... simply disgusting. Although the waitress was friendly but incompetent, and the setting completely lacking in charm despite its large size, the problem with this establishment lies with the food. I ordered the set menu, which started with a gizzard salad. The gizzards were rancid and served with a salad that looked like it came from a bag bought at Metro or the corner store. Not even a dressing to liven things up. But nothing too serious compared to the main course. After asking if it was a local specialty, which was confirmed, I tried the Potée du Marais (a dish with eel and frog legs). Okay, it's a bit daring, but since it was confirmed to be a specialty, I ordered it. I couldn't manage more than one bite. The eel was awful. I sent back the plate that was brought to me, and then sent it back again, explaining the situation once more. I insisted that the package should be checked to verify the expiration date, or that the product (since it wasn't fresh) hadn't been defrosted properly. It was no use; the waitress took my dish back and offered me nothing in return, claiming the dish was fine according to the chef, who didn't even bother to come over and tell me this to my face.
My brother, who was having lunch with me, was also served a bland goat cheese salad to start, followed by a pizza that would have been better if it had come from Picard.
We decided not to order dessert, even though mine was on the menu. When it came time to pay, not a single gesture. My brother didn't even argue; if I had been paying, I would have made a scene.
It's simply shameful, and I'm seriously considering filing a complaint with the DGCCRF (French Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control) soon. Given the eel I was served, I think there must be a problem with food storage at this establishment.
My advice: avoid this place, and if you're already seated, run away!

I highly recommend it.
Thank you very much.
