I've been coming to Chartres for years and after a few very disappointing experiences at the larger restaurants on the square I am so happy to have found this lovely place. I haven't had such an enjoyable meal out in a very long time. I've never been met with such friendly people despite it being the end of a hot busy Saturday at the end of the summer season. The view of the cathedral is spectacular. The food was perfectly cooked simple French food made with love. The menu was small, always a good sign I find as it means that everything is cooked with meaning. I had salmon, lamb and the chocolate fondant, all absolutely delicious and incredibly generously portioned; I couldn't believe it only came to eighteen euros for such an amazing meal. The wine list was short but did not need to be any longer; we started off with a delicious Kia with a generous splash of cassis and a big jug of ice, perfect on a boiling hot day. Then an amazingly crisp Chardonnay and a beautifully balanced Cote du Rhone, both organic and half the price of a bottle of a far less satisfying wine at any nearby restaurant. Though we were the last ones there we were in no way rushed and allowed to enjoy a delicious espresso, (in a warmed cup and everything!), and a generous slog of cognac in piece. I could not fault it. Thank you! I'll be...
Read moreJe pense que c'est le pire restaurant que j'ai pu faire. Malgré la gentillesse de la dame (serveuse) on sent une lassitude et une fatigue dans leur travail, quelques remarques sences etre drole mais genante. Mais ce n est pas le pire même si déjà à ce moment on a envie de fuir. On a pris le menu à 18 euros entrée/plat/dessert. Le menu donne envie... mais juste sur l ardoise. Le saumon de mauvaise qualité, le goût n est pas la. Du 1er prix. Le veau façon lyonnais avec le riz sauvage. Veau... quelques morceaux dans l assiette avec beaucoup de gras. Dur et sans goût. La sauce ... une horreur très liquide. Et le riz. Pas assez cuit. Heureusement les assiettes étaient pas trop rempli ça évite le gâchis. Les desserts moelleux chocolat sûrement celui de picard donc pas trop mauvais mais 100% industriel. La tarte au pomme sans intérêt également. Je suis sortie je n avais qu une envie aller remanger ailleurs. Ps le pain etait dur , couper trop fin pour les économies... Je ne conseille malheureusement pas ce restaurant idéalement situé pourtant. J'ai du mal à comprendre les commentaires positif mais ça doit dépendre des jours ? La cuisine française pleure après ce genre...
Read moreSiamo a Chartres , questo simpatico bistrot , proprio al lato della imponente Cattedrale , offre un servizio gentile ed informale d'altri tempi. Lo staff è composto dai due proprietari che accolgono con gentilezza e consigliano in modo non utilitaristico per il loro guadagno. Offrono porzioni abbondanti e servite in modo esteticamente accettabile i piatti proposti. La conduzione è calda e familiare. Lo stesso il locale , un po' vecchio ma offre una atmosfera piacevole. Non c'è un arredo in plastica , tutto legno e stoffa ( tavoli e sedie ) Ad un prezzo più che onesto abbiamo preso patè de compagnon , cosciotto di agnello con patate , torta di mele , acqua per meno di 24 euro a persona. Chiedono il green pass . C'è anche un area esterna ma non in uso ( faceva freddo) Si ha l'impressione della Francia di provincia , seria , attenta e non ho riscontrato quel si dice riguardo la lingua. La signora si è realmente impegnata nel dare indicazioni e consigli , anche in un...
