Restaurant Ou Pastre - Menton

This restaurant sits on a very busy corner in the Old Town section of Menton, France. Lots of pedestrians and scooters which means a lot of noise but that was to be expected in that area.A variety of pastas, pizzas, and salads on the menu at fairly reasonable prices for the area. I ordered the bolognese spaghetti (spaghetti with meat sauce) and was sorely disappointed. I didn't think you could ruin meat sauce for spaghetti this much. I think the main problem with it was they added what seemed like a whole bottle of red wine to the sauce, so all I could taste was wine mixed with my spaghetti. A little wine in food goes a long way. I didn't like it to the point that I only had a few bites and couldn't eat the rest. The service was good, especially the younger gentleman who waited on us. The woman who was taking orders and who diners paid was not overly friendly. This is not a restaurant I would go back to the next time I'm in Menton. Perhaps the other pasta dishes are better than the one I had, but I was not particularly impressed with the place.

Good restaurant if you're hungry. But nothing special. Convenient. Cheap for its location. Good people watching. :)

We ate here for lunch today. The food was at best below average. The dish of the day, paella was overcooked, mushy and expensive at €18. The pizza was similar to one you might buy in a supermarket. There was no soap in the toilets and there was water all over the floor the toilet did not flush properly. The pan bagnat was ok, but the lady serving had dirty fingernails. Avoid.

Not worth anything . Food is really bad , dry and reheated. Local specialties have nothing to do with the real stuff Cheapest frozen pizza would be better that the ones they serve Service is ok . I would never ever go back

A restaurant, a simple restaurant that has always been like this, no trends and changes. Simple , love the old lady who works there.Go here a cold and boring day and eat a spaghetti carbonara.You get what you are paying for an it´s good that way.
