Au Gouverniaud — Restaurant in Torcy

April 2025 update: Stopped by again for lunch while in the area and were not disappointed. Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere in a very clean modern interior. Borek (Feuillete au fromage feta) was again delicious as always and was really light and tasty with a tasty dipping sauce. The Adana (brochette de viande hachee) was again very tasty and delicious with a light smoke flavor. The grilled Dorade (fish) was very good and perfectly cooked as always.

May 2023 update: It has been more than a couple years since my last review of this restaurant so we went back for dinner and were not disappointed. One of the best restaurants you'll find anywhere offering delicious, moderately priced Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine. Street parking is limited so be prepared to drive around the block to find a spot to park. If you stop by during the week for dinner, you should be able to be seated upon arrival without reservation. Owner/chef welcomed us warmly and service was again excellent! If you have a special request for the chef, just let him know and he'll do everything possible to accommodate. Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere in a very clean modern interior. Ordered the following entrees (starters): Houmous (puree de chick peas, huile d'olive, et tahini) was one of the best I've tasted - very creamy, smooth with delicious spices and olive oil. Borek (Feuillete au fromage feta) was delicious and really light and tasty with a tasty dipping sauce.

For main dish, I ordered Beyti (Brochette de viande hachee roule dans la galette, sauce tomate, yaourt, ail) which was absolutely delicious - ground beef had a very nice smokey barbecue flavor. Also ordered Cote de Veau with mushrooms sauteed in butter which was also delicious. The Adana (brochette de viande hachee) was also very tasty and delicious.

This is a must stop place if you're anywhere in the region - well worth the trip and you'll not have any regrets paying for moderately priced Turkish/Mediterranean Cuisine in a quite local neighborhood restaurant.

Petit conseil logistique pratique pour les automobilistes : S'il n'y a pas de place devant le restaurant, on peut facilement se garer un peu plus loin sur le parking de la Mairie, à l'angle de la rue Pasteur et de la rue St Germain.

Sinon, tout a déjà été par les nombreux avis précédents, je ne peux que confirmer les 5 étoiles amplement méritées décernées au Gouverniaud, une très jolie adresse de ce petit village de Seine et Marne. Une large carte qui met principalement à l'honneur des plats et des vins turcs, mais pas uniquement, un décor soigné, un accueil très poli et professionnel et la possibilité de réserver en ligne en amont via Google.

Quant aux mets... S'il vous est difficile de faire un choix je conseille la délicieuse et généreuse planche de grillade mixte pour deux personnes à 45 euros qui vous permettra de goûter différentes viandes idéalement cuites et leurs nombreux accompagnements. S'il vous reste encore un peu de place pour le dessert, il serait dommage de passer à côté de la spécialité locale : Le Baklava feuilleté à la pistache servi avec une glace turque et pourquoi pas, le tout accompagné d'un excellent vin Ottoman lui aussi comme le Yakut Rouge (que vous pourrez emporter en doggy bag si vous ne finissez pas la bouteille).

J'arrête là car le gérant a eu l'honnêteté de nous dire de ne pas trop lui faire de publicité puisque le bouche à oreille confère déjà un beau succès à ce restaurant, mais un bon plan ça se partage, même s'il faut compter aux alentours de 50 euros par personnes pour se faire plaisir de temps à autres avec "la totale" (plat vin et dessert) qui ravira à coup sûr...
