"Our daughter took us to the Le Suquet by Bras restaurant as a treat to celebrate our joint 60th birthday. I'd never been to a 3-start Michelin restaurant before and certainly not one where the chef has recently been awarded the No.1 chef in the world for 2016. I understand that stars are awarded not only on the food, although this is of course a huge consideration, but also on the venue and the service offered.On the food front we went for the Balade menu at the princely sum of EUR 220, not cheap but you're only 60 once. The food was indeed excellent overall but I felt that, for me, the two deserts were the weaker part of the whole journey through nine courses and artistic splendour. The Salad, Foie Gras, Turbot and Beef were the highlights, the salad offering tastes and textures that I wouldn't have thought possible in a humble leaf salad. Hats off to the inventor of that course. Sometimes food presented so artistically can be a case of style over substance but at Le Suquet that is most definitely not the case.The venue was stunning, a beautiful modernist building overlooking the Aubrac with the sun setting as we started our meal. It's very chic, smart and comfortable and although very modern blends in beautifully with the surroundings. We were taken into the kitchen to meet Sebastien Bras and were impressed with the slick operation in evidence.Now for the service. Whilst the table service was very good, mainly from two very attentive and charming waitresses, the same was not true in all areas hence my average rating. Our daughter had arranged for a bottle of pink champagne to be at our table when we arrived for aperos...this was not in evidence and never mentioned by anyone. A boiled egg and soldiers (I kid you not) was served with aperos for other customers but we were forgotten for some reason..only when we were being shown to our table and I mentioned that we hadn't had this did the bring it up. Also, our daughter had arranged for someone to take us back to our hotel in Laguiole when we had finished our meal. We were told that this was going to cost 10-15 Euros. Only when we were leaving did we realise that they had booked a taxi from a distant village which cost us 50 Euros plus extra for the time that she was waiting for us, This was poor service as they had failed to mention that they would have to use a taxi and never told us that the driver was there and waiting for us for twenty minutes or more.When you visit a 3-Michelin star restaurant you expect something really very special. Whilst food and venue delivered in spades the service was a bit of a let down. As a comparison we visited Restaurant Serge Vieira in Chaudes Aigues a few weeks ago which, although only 2-star and considerably less expensive, offered excellent service at all levels of the experience."
