Poivre Rouge - Gond-Pontouvre

Stayed in a nearby ibis hotel and walked to restaurant. We had a discount voucher from the hotel do made sense to eat here. Service was very poor and slow. The food was not too bad, we had the steak and my pasta dishes. Meal for 2 was £38 inc. mains and desert and soft drinks so reasonable prices. Food was nice but the meat was just cooked and no seasoning. Could be better but we are in France and that’s how they like the food bland here. Next time will try different dishes. Not bad place.

Very disappointing. No salad bar. My husband ordered the Caesar salad. Stale lettuce no croutons nothing much else other than chicken. Looked and tasted poor. I ordered the ribs there were plenty but they were dry and tasteless and the salad again was just stale lettuce.

Not felt welcome. wrong drink arrived, waitress obviously not listening. Husband ordered half a duck breast which is served with. orange sauce, green. beans and dauphinois potatoes. He asked if he.could have frites instead of the dauphinois potatoes. When the meal came it was JUST half the duck breast and frites! I called one of the waiting staff over to explain....he went off and brought the orange sauce but. no green beans....disgusted...we couldn't get out of there quick enough....the frites were awful too! Won't be going back and would not recommend it.

This might be longer than our normal report. Arrived for late-ish Sunday lunch between two events. Car park full but got a space. restaurant full, but got a table. Speaks for itself to be so busy. Oh dear, the cold buffet table might be empty. Not at all, constantly replenished. Well done. Main courses well prepared and presented; very enjoyable half duck breast and an andouillette as part of the 15 €uro special. Excellent glass of wine as we were driving! Most notable was the wonderful staff. All seemed to be multi-tasking switching from supervision, to clearing tables to serving drinks. Another well done. Our super wee waitress was cheery and most efficient. When I asked Astrid to explain her in training on her name badge she explained she had only started the previous day! Quite, quite amazing level of proficiency, also considering how busy they were. Third well done and we will certainly be back. Thank you.

Bien placé en salle, service rapide, serveuse agréable, en réservant on est sûr d'avoir une table, la carte offre un choix très varié, plat assez copieux.
