We went to Le Menestrel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor, so knew the location was not the greatest but expected good food and service. To summarize our dinner: very poor atmosphere, average to poor food, slow service (though others were clearly served faster). The location is poor, there is nothing cute about the low-end back of a strip mall overlooking low-end housing. There is a cover with vines, but that does not make a huge difference. The chairs and tables are very cheap plastic, what one expects at a low end diner or truck stop, not a restaurant. Our service was super slow. They were not busy on the night. Others did seem to be served more quickly, but for a small, half-empty place...
We picked this restaurant for dinner both cause it was really close to our hotel and also because it appeared to have fish dishes, which was exactly what we were looking for. We were quite disappointed though when we read the menu: they only had 2 kind of fresh fish (and of one they only had one unit left , there were 4 entrées, only one with fish and in the main dishes there was no fish at all, the only available main dish with fish was the bouillabaisse, but we found out that it was necessary to reserve it (it would be nice to write it on the big ad on the street maybe? . Further more, the waiter, as nice as he was, kept chatting with people (not clients, just random people who were there,...
We came to Le Menestrel for lunch in late May. My wife and I had a 2-course lunch menu for EUR 18.50. I had a beefsteak with cheese sauce, green beans and fried potatoes: excellent, sufficiently large and nicely presented. My wife had a piece of veal with marinated red onions, also very good and quite unusual. Desert: amazing crème bruleé. Environment very tranquil, shaded and frequented by locals. Service very polite. My only criticism: Opening hours advertised on Google were incorrect. We'd tried to come for lunch before based on opening hours on Google and the place was closed.
We had a nice dinner with fresh fish cooked in the hooven. Dessert very good The dinner was nice and really good. The place is nice under a grapes tree. The price ok for fresh fish, about 30 € per person, included starters, drinks, dessert and coffee.
Absolutely amazing experience, staff was so welcoming and friendly from the moment we got here, food was excellent. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Will defiantly return.
