Envies de Terroir — Restaurant in Gourdon

I always wrestle with how to express my views on a restaurant that is barely average, or worse, below average. It can sound harsh and judgemental and I can sometimes wonder if I’m being too tough. But in this case I think average would be generous, in view of the experience we had today.

Which is a shame, as the setting is quite lovely. Service was ok, except they forgot our coffees (but they were still on the bill when I got it!), and the house wine was acceptable. However, in view of the prices, the food did not make the grade. The giblets on my salad were barely cooked, while my duck main was a bit over cooked.

My partner seemed happy with her choices, but if you took away the lettuce salads on all the dishes, serves were pretty average size. We had actually chosen the set menu at €26.50 each. I have had much better for less everywhere else on our current trip in France.

I had not read the other Trip Advisor reviews on this establishment before we went there. I wished I had as they do give a pretty good overview of what to...

A wet Saturday in Rocamadour. We picked this restaurant and were pleased with our choice. First impression, the decor, which is bright and clean and stylish (other restaurants appeared dark and gloomy).

Nous étions à la recherche, à 17h, de crêpes sucrées dans Rocamadour. Et bien quelle aventure !

Après s'être fait virer du resto d'en face qui ne servait plus, et ce malgré de nombreux panneaux "non stop" (logique...), nous entrons dans ce restaurant en posant la question fatidique : "est-il possible de manger des crêpes sucrées ?"

Forts d'un oui affirmé, nous nous installons sur la très sympathique terrasse panoramique. Une autre serveuse (la patronne ?) arrive de suite et nous demandons donc nos fameuses crêpes, ce a quoi on nous répond "ah non ce n'est pas possible, pour manger il faut attendre 19h" avec un air pas très sympathique. Outch, on venait tout juste de nous dire que c'était possible ! Manque de coordination ? Technique pour ameuter le client ? Dans tous les cas, pas de crêpes pour nous apparemment... il aurait été bien d'être franc dès le départ, on était pas à un revers près.

Bref, je décide de me rabattre sur une coupe glacée tandis que ma copine prend simplement une boisson. La coupe était très standard, rien de mauvais / rien de top, notons toutefois une sauce chocolat made in grande surface. A 8€ la coupe, on peut s'attendre à du...
