Hundreds of reviews, nearly all excellent and good, with two poor and one terrible. There's always one terrible: what could go wrong?Was it because it was Monday night, and the chef was away? The waiter was turning couples away because they were fully booked, when they clearly weren't; and there seemed to be a bit of a panic in the kitchen. But this was awful. I sometimes wish my other half and offspring would let me tell people what I think at the time, but I can't, so here goes...The wine was excellent, and great value for money. The water was chilled, as was the waiter, and refreshing. The service was charming and top notch, almost to the end. The food, though, was not, with a couple of exceptions. We went with the 3 x â¬35 formule: starter, main & dessert, and were happy to get an amuse-bouche of house pâté on toast which was promisingly good. The water, wine, salt and bread all arrived quickly and with charm. We chatted about the music, and all agreed that Norah Jones was lovely in every respect. Everything was wonderful.The starters came, and the foie gras was great, as was the brandade and tapenade toast. The mussels (the mussels are amazing, says Trip Advisor) were served on the half shell, floating in grease, with some sort of sauce that looked like sick. I think that they had been grilled, but somebody forgot to pre-heat the grill, and the sauce and most of the mussels - were cold. I struggled. Grease pooled. The mains. Apparently the squid was good, but the tuile-like basket of courgettes with overpowering peppers that I had in my main was there too. The runny leak common to all three mains was on the plate too, so I can only imagine that there was the same soupy effect on the plate. I had ordered a beef filet (rare) and my daughter the house burger (medium). My 'filet' - in my experience at the butcher's, filet comes in one piece, and not several different (and separate!) bits arranged to possibly look like one - was struggling to show any pink at all; my daughter's burger was rare to the point of mooing. My sauce aux morilles was more of a thin soup which ran off anything it came in contact with, without thinking to leave any hint of its passage. Neither of us finished. Dessert. By this stage the young lady had decided that enough was enough. Nothing for her. Mrs & I thought better of challenging the kitchen further, and went for two scoops of sorbet. They came, with the comment that 'I've added some house chocolate.' I wonder, and maybe I'm wrong, if the addition of chocolate crisps wasn't to justify the 'desserts faits maison' on the board. The sorbets didn't seem in any way homemade. And then the bill. He kindly didn't charge us for three formules, but did charge us for a â¬16 main when it was only â¬15. A small thing, but by then I was mightily pissed off and my pores were - and still are - teeming grease.â¬135 or so for a very nice bottle of wine and a car crash of a meal. It just goes to show that on a bad Monday evening, hundreds of Trip Advisor contributors can be seen to be wrong.Bonjour et adieu.....

Enjoyed this place, service was extremely friendly and efficient, the food was wholesome and well cooked.From roast chicken to a complicated tasting plate, both were done very well.Located outside the walled city it offered better value and more traditional food

But what's this "hostel"? Without a doubt a dream boy Many are tried to be (e) s to define, there are few who succeed and as everything constantly changes... Is it a restaurant? Not really. A bar to wine? Yes... but not that. A host table gourmet? It is s
