La Brasserie du Lavoir

There is only ONE reason to stay at this ratty, overcrowded run down little campground it's proximity to Basel.

We had a three course lunch while enjoying the lovely sunshine in the brasserie's garden. Fresh salad, interesting mains to include delicious Gorgonzola sauce and yummy dessert. Prices were reasonable. If you have time, take a walk around the village. It is very picturesque.

We came across this restaurant while going to the parc floral d'apremont which is just besides it. The management was really sweet to get us a good place really quick even though we had no reservations. The menu sous la tonelle was really value for money as the quantity served was quiet a lot and the food was very very delicious. The terrace is really big and even though it was a really sunny and warm day, it was quiet pleasant. Definitely a must try!

The setting looks like it would be great and several years ago I ate a good ice cream here so i thought I'd treat my partner and I to a meal out and visit the gardens etc. We were told to arrive late due to another function-only to find they were smack in the middle of very large function and service. The starter was fine. Having waited over an hour for the main-I ended up having to chase it..still no main..until the moment you all dread (threatening to go!) Then the main arrived..it was disgusting..fries that were swimming in oil-cheap cut of meat with horrible taste (described as local Charolais! ) Sorry but if you make a customer wait-at least serve them a something worth the wait. Poor service. Very expensive for the level of cuisine..which was one big let down. Starter fine, pudding eaten by now with bad grace as if were not for my partner..I would have just walked out. Never again! They waved the coffee. I paid in cash. As I was leaving the other server who had neglected us (was pulled off to serve the large function) actually had the brass neck to ask if I had paid (which I just had! and had been given the coffee for free due to poor service) Anyone can accept that on a busy day-service can be delayed. But they messed up in every way

We had a lovely lunch here before visiting the Parc Floral.The setting was stunning ,tables in the garden, under parasol. Beautiful flowers and a friendly waitress. We had the pate De frois gras and the smoked salmon with cream cheese on blini .Both presented with wonderful berries and salad. I had the duck with blackcurrant sauce and my husband the pave steak with girolles. Both cooked to perfection. Dessert we both went with tarte pomme with glace. A glass of Rose and a beer, water came to 71 euros , very good for such a delicious meal .
