After a hellish journey from the airport we arrived in the hotel 90 minutes late, and had to get them to contact the restaurant to tell them we would be late. No problem. We arrived there and had a much needed aperitif, whilst ordering, made...to feel welcome and relaxed straight away.
There appeared to be a trainee waitress who took our order for 2 steaks and must have misheard me, deux a point as Bleu, a point. So my steak arrived blue, not a way I would normally have it. There was an offer to redo it, but as time was getting on, I ate it Blue. And it was delicious. Altogether a great dish, the sauce and potatoes adding to the feeling that we had made a good choice.
Unfortunately we had no time for a dessert (and to be fair were rather full) but this did not phase the patron who thanked us for coming again - we had not been for 18 months- hoped we had enjoyed the food- we had- and said we must come again- we will if in Paris.
So, a hurried and "mistaken" meal, but one which turned out thoroughly enjoyable, and was even more memorable for being recognised as a returning eater. How could you not like this place?More
