All conversation was conducted in French so no insult on my part. We had to wait ages and ask twice before we could order. My request for an entrée without meat was rudely refused then my husband’s entrée appeared...a salad with slices of rabbit terrine on top. Surely it wouldn’t have been difficult to prepare just a salad! The main course of bream was served with spaghetti and potatoes, an oily pepper and iceberg lettuce! Well below what we have come to expect from French cuisine. The water we requested never arrived. We only stopped here because nowhere else was offering fish on their menu...we have learned our lesson...check the reviews before requesting a table in future
Nice location and we sat outside under umbrellas in the prevailing good weather. Service was prompt and cheerful, after drinks we decided to have lunch, the porc was tasty, the lasagne (beef and chicken) was better than expected but hardly made it to lukewarm. Just need to check dishes before they leave the kitchen and this would have rated a “good”. Good desserts and coffee to finish.
This was one of the few places that we found open for lunch on a wet, cold windy Monday in Bagneres-de-Bigorre, but it was very busy which we thought was a good sign. So it turned out to be. Although the staff did not speak English, we managed to indicate that we were interested in the Formule/Plat du Jour menu were soon mixing it with the locals. Quite noisy many tables squeezed into the area in close proximity, but it all seemed to add to the authenticity. Spouse had an entree main, whilst I opted for a main course only. We also shared a lovely bottle of Rose. Spouses entree was a salad with lardons topped with a poached egg. He indicated that it was one of the tastiest salads he has eaten.....high praise indeed. He chose the St Pierre fish I, the chicken mushrooms both were fabulous. Nice sized serves full of flavour. We also chose a cheese platter to finish it came with 3 nice cheeses which we quickly demolished. A very nice lunch well worth the visit.
The demi of the house rosé was good. The beer was well poured. Now the rest of it. Le demi du rosé maison était bon. La bière était bien servie. Maintenant le reste.
The service was good. The Pizza Calzone also good. The music was absolutely too loud. It looks like a place for tourists but price was still decent: 10€ pizza calzone.
