Beef Lodge — Restaurant in Bonneville

It was a nice dinner but one would expect more from a place specialising primarily in beef. Angus rib eye steak was just ok considering it was Argentinian meat, it was cooked about right but unfortunately it was missing juiciness and didn’t really taste anything like any of the meat I have tried in Argentina before.

The portion is advertised as 350g. It may as well have been 350g before cooking but on my plate I had about 250g at best as per picture attached. My wife’s picanha arrived cold.

On the positive side, the service was fantastic and atmosphere unique, you won’t find anything like that in Megeve. Staff was friendly and very quick to respond, particularly when we complained about water glasses having an odd smell of dust or mustard condiment being open and partially consumed by previous customer. Bread and butter were absolutely delicious and we didn’t leave the place hungry at all. Just a bit disappointed! I also thought the overall price wasn’t too...

I called this restaurant two days ago to make a reservation and the lady who answered the phone asked me which service would I choose : 7:30pm or 9:30pm. I said 7:30 pm as 9:30 would be too late for the kids. She said OK 7:30 pm then and that she would call me the next morning for me to confirm the réservation. I said OK. She never called.

I phoned the restaurant yesterday afternoon to make sure that they'd kept my reservation regardless the fact that SHE didn't" call, the gentleman who answered the phone said that he didn't see any reservation under my name.

I explained the whole situation and all he had to say was: we don't have your reservation, only the 9:30pm service is still available.

Not even an apology. Total indifference....

We had a fantastic meal at the Beef Lodge. Its a quality establishment with an extenesive wine list from across the different regions of France and a class selection of meat cuts from all over the world. The staff here are well trained, welcoming and knowledgable (a similar vibe to Hawksmoor or Gaucho in the UK). The restaurant is busy, a great, atmosphere and with beautiful decor. We didnt share one of the large cuts on offer as (sadly)my wife wanted the fish, I had the cut with the whisky flambe, a tender flame grilled steak with a smokey finish which I highly recommend if you want your steak slightly different! All the food was excellent and we were well looked after including our doggo, Hector. We will definitely...
