La Brasserie du Lavoir

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.

The main problem with this brasserie is the management. Location is great, the serving staff are helpful, service is on time and the food is of reasonable quality, but the management is bizarre. We had finished our meal and wanted to pay the bill, but clearly the waitress was not allowed to deal with money. She gave the bill to another person, who took it upstairs.

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 .

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 food was fine. We all had salads. The lettuce could have been fresher but the service was good, prices okay and the wine was lovely!
