"The restaurant looked full of happy diners always a good sign, so we were expecting a reasonable lunch. Maybe we arrived too late (12.45), maybe the chef was having an off day, maybe dealing with a couple of large groups proved too much for the kitchen, maybe we should have avoided the basic 3 course lunch for 15 Euro who knows, but for all the good trip adviser reviews, the lunch was disappointing. It started off well, with a salad for starter, either with goats cheese or quiche, although I 'm not convinced that slices of passion fruit and orange actually added much to it. Then the 2 large groups decided to leave and each individual paid separately. This took up the attention of the 2 people serving for a considerable time, and our second course appeared to have been forgotten. When it did arrive, the beef brochette, which actually was a tender piece of meat and tasty was served with burnt cubes of fried potato and a 'gloup ' of courgette. After this we gave up the will to live and just had ice cream as the dessert. I have now had so many poor experiences of eating in (basic) restaurants in France, that I 'm not going to bother anymore. I would rather go and get a decent bit of bread in the boulangerie and some pate in the boucherie than suffer the offerings of another poor restaurant meal. Long gone are the days when you could go in to an unassuming restaurant with formica tables and be served the quality of food that Elizabeth David described. Next time I think I will try the sushi chains that now seem to be opening over France."

"I'm an American and have enjoyed Chinese-American food for many decades. Been in south of France the past year and the Asian restaurants .... well, boring and not good, perhaps because the French don't like spicy. But this is the first Chinese place I've really...liked. For France, especially for Ales, fantastic. If I go a couple of times to a Chinese restaurant and like it and feel comfortable I'll order Sweet and Sour Pork. This dish is a good way to judge. If they use cheap or poorly cut pork you get too much fat or gristle and the dish sucks. Here it was wonderful, with with crispy fried pork slices stir-fried in the sauce so this is now my go-to Chinese restaurant. As a plus the owners are nice. He's Vietnamese and has family in Texas and Baton Rouge but does not speak English. No matter, we communicated. Btw I am calling this a Chinese restaurant based on the menu. In the US Vietnamese restaurants seem to serve pho but here in France the term Vietnamese seems to indicate some sort of Asian restaurant. Anyway this is good Chinese food that all should enjoy, even Americans."

"Honestly nothing to say. One time for us, a feast from beginning to end, no false note. An excellent cuisine, flavors present at each bite, the staff is in small care. Tested and more than approved"

"Restaurant really above my expectations. To start the waiter was very nice, the restaurant is very chic. I ordered a heavenly cocktail that I found extremely good, then I took a paved of romsteak bleeding, it happens and cooking is perfect, honestly I had never tasted such a tender meat and that requires so little effort to chew. To finish I took a chocolate mousse that was very good but the only thing to say on it is that there is a little too much and as it is quite sweet it gets a little bit of annoying. But it does not change my vision of this restaurant that I recommend 100%. Prices are not too low but are perfectly justified by the quality of food and service (I felt like I was in a gastronomic ahah . In short if you want a very good restaurant on Alès do not hesitate and go to it;"

"After several attempts, we finally managed to eat in this restaurant. reception is immediately hot, the room and the very clean environment. we took the menu of the day of the flat dessert entrance to € and we were not disappointed. generous plates, cooked dishes and fresh, short, perfect for a faster meal. However, don't ask the boss what's made of the cup of cevenole, you might put it angry. Bravo to the whole team, from the kitchen to the service. a good address to which we will think the future."
