17/12/2024: I am extremely disappointed with my experience in this restaurant, both in terms of hygiene and the quality of the dishes offered. We chose this establishment for a friendly family moment, encouraged by its high rating on Google (4.4 out of 598 reviews). Unfortunately, the reality was far from our expectations. As soon as we arrived, the atmosphere seemed cold, the restaurant almost deserted and the decoration sad. Seated at a table with a view of the bar, we witnessed an unacceptable scene: a table had just become free, and the glasses of wine left by previous customers were emptied into the bottle which was served to them, by someone in charge of the bar, before she puts it back in the refrigerator. A few minutes later, this same person filled new jugs of water, reusing those abandoned by other customers. Suffice to say that the desire to drink water during the meal had disappeared. As for the dishes, they were just like hygiene: mediocre and disappointing. I ordered the La Bavière galette for €16.90. The ingredients were placed next to the pancake and not inside, as if it was up to me to compose it. The "grilled ham" was cold and dry, presumably reheated in the microwave, the potatoes tasted strange and sour, and the patty itself was dry and overcooked. I was served half a portion of onion, some scattered bacon and a cream that was supposed to be inside, but was completely absent. When I reported this, I was curtly offered to return the plate, which I probably should have done, even if it would not have changed the disastrous quality of the dish. Another member of my family had the La Tartiflette pancake for €15.80. Here again, big disappointment: the cheese seemed to come from an industrial product purchased at the local supermarket. For such a price, we have the right to expect a minimum of quality in the choice of ingredients. Luckily the sweet crepes were ok. I sincerely hope that the “homemade” salted butter caramel was actually made on site and not bought in a jar. In the end, for three pancakes, a bottle of cider and two sweet pancakes, the bill came close to €80-90. A totally unjustified amount for such dry, tasteless dishes prepared with low-end products. However, what remains most shocking is the blatant lack of hygiene. Putting customers' wine back in bottles and recycling water from carafes from one table to another is unacceptable in a catering establishment. Absolutely avoid.
