Le Comptoir du Boeuf - La Flèche

Having just arrived at our holiday destination near le flèche, we ventured into town for some sustenance. Wandered around town and chose this as it was situated in an attractive square, appeared typically French and the menu was promising.Our host was genial and efficient, it was reasonably busy yet good service was received throughout. All in our small group were impressed with their meals, main courses and deserts. We all thought it good value considering the quality of the food and our surroundings. I would recommend this place if you're in town.

After wandering around and checking out the restaurants we decided on this one, it is in a lovely square filled with other restaurants in vieux Lyon. We chose the €23 and €29 menus. The fried cheese with rosemary entree was OK but a bit greasy. My main of onglet was great, cooked how I requested. My husband's pave was huge but was very rare rather than a point as requested. The accompanying pommes dauphinoise was very salty. The chocolat fondant dessert was not fondant but was tasty. The coconut creme brulee was very light and tasty.All in all this place was not bad but not as good as expected for the amount we paid.

Had the best menu fixe here this year. Two courses for 9.90 Euros. Choice from the self service buffet and seafood casserole with rice and loads of bread. Am going to make this when I get back home to the UK, it was so good. The service too is excellent.
