"Back again to this divine little bistro. Today the menu midi offered a crunchy parcel of goats cheese in filo, pork tenderloin in an exquisite light jeu followed by tarte tatin with salted caramel butter sauce.......I love this place. The welcome is always warm, cheerful and prompt. The talented chef is also busy around the tables greeting regulars and newcomers alike. I have eaten here many times and the menu changes every time taking the best local produce and producing a masterpiece. The talented chef has a light touch and the food looks as good as it tastes. Book at least one day in advance to be sure of a table. Snuggled behind the Market Hall at Place Carnot, you could pass by and miss it. Once found though you will be wondering why you did not try it before !"

"Arrived with reservation for 1 person. I advised owners that I spoke no French and they were kind to offer assistance. However, in addition to the regular menu, I was show the menu du jour which looked delicious (and it was! . But the pricing was 37 Europe for 2 people. When I selected it, I assumed, incorrectly, that an adjustment would be made to the pricing for a solo diner. Not the case. There was a complimentary taster of cream of mushroom soup followed by a starter consisted of a delicious scallops with leek cream sauce en croute. Amazingly good. The main was a piece of chicken (small breast/thigh in a brown sauce with spiced carrots and potatoes lyonnaise. Choice of cheese or tiramisu (a strawberry French version, I guess for dessert. Considering portion size, as well as set menu pricing, this did not seem like good value, altho I have no complaints about the food taste or quality. By 8:30, this small restaurant was filled to capacity. Make a reservation on The Fork."

"Only just of the beaten track which makes parking much easier! This restaurant is expensive in relation to others but is good value considering the quality and service. The menu takes a bit of working out as prices for steak are quoted by weight (multiples of 100gms) and the minimum weight you can order is also stated. To make matters more complicated you can also chose how many weeks the meat has been matured for. Whether you choose Classic or 4 week mature, the quality is all good and extremely well cooked. Even meat cooked very rare is melting. This is a "proper" steak restaurant so make sure you go for the steak. There are fixed price menus but I would keep it simple. Steak, chips with its side of vegetables. Pork and lamb is also available and there is a concession to non-meat eaters in the form of a mushroom omelette. I am sure it is delicious ......Wine is also priced at the top end and excellent. . House wine is also very acceptable.Whenever we have visited the clientele have been all French from the professional classes who are there to see and be seen. Its fascinating ! One little niggle. At the price, the amuse bouche could have been more exciting than a thin slice of fairly mundane salami with a chunk of bread. For faux filet (250 gms) and a large entrecote steak (450 gms) , with a bottle of AC Beaujolais the bill will be around 70 Euros. A starter and pud could increase that by at least 20 Euros. Nevertheless, recommended for the quality, service and ambience. The staff are really charming."

"This place we found by accident, we were staying in the Premiere Classe Hotel just along the road.I know people are going to say whoa! when I say that it cost us 19.90 Euro each (Just over £17), but when you consider that you can drink (Wine, Beer, Tea,Coffee and Bottled Water) as much as you like, then that throws a different complexion on things.The place is bright and cheerful, the staff are very helpful (But don't speak english, but that is not a problem) The food is fresh, not dried out as in some places in England I've been in. There is a part where you make a selection of raw meats ( unless you're vegetarian) and raw vegetables, which you put on a plate and take it over to the Chef where it is cooked in front of you.There is a good selection of sweets, including cheeses.All in all if you are in the vicinity, you would be mad not to go there.We've booked our hotel for next year, so you know where we'll be for dinner."
