"the workshop 157 has all of a french brasserie, both by its map (burgers, meats, salads, a little fish...) and by its organization (large room, nice little terrace, part restaurant, part bar.) yet, this restaurant is more than a brewery, it has a clean identity, a service that is also clean and a very special decoration. It's the decor I'm going to start. The workshop 157 recalls the bars harley us (there is also a big logo of the American brand on one of the walls), with its totems in zoomorphic wood, its collection of skulls painted behind the bar, a pendulum with a part of motorcycle motor. In addition to being clean, the toilets are original: the seals of the walls are of ochre color and bring out the grey or anthracite tiles. The red doors whose handles are engraved with the number 157 make the whole harmonious.Concerning the map, it remains classic on some points but there are also appetizing dishes of the day, like the farmer chicken who seems to know its success or the yellow place I tasted. It was a very peppery dish, which doesn’t bother me. However, the fish would have deserved more cooking because the flesh was a little too pink to my taste. However, the nets stood. The fish was accompanied by bulgour, which changes rice. A small shrimp sauce ramequin, another originality, made it all well.The other guests ordered the burger savoyard (the burger seems to be the specialty of the house) that I found very generous. the fries were well grilled and the bread was not imbibed by the meat. Then I asked for a gourmet tea. unless mistaken, it is six euros. given the quality of the dessert. First, tea comes from richard counters, which offer a good quality tea, especially since with the teapot, there is the equivalent of two cups. Secondly, there are three real desserts: a very good burning cream, a cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream with cream and white cheese with red fruit, very classic. Of course, the service is a little long. It must be said that the room team is not very elaborate and that the attendance is rather high. I was able to talk to the boss who came to see me when she saw that I was taking pictures of the dishes. I found her friendly even though some say she can be cold. We were able to talk about cooking and I found she was putting a lot of passion in it. Atelier 157 is, in my opinion, a very good address. prices are correct for homemade fact served generously."

"This looks the ideal restaurant, set in a classical building next to a beautiful park. But it only looks this way. First, when I booked the restaurant, I asked if they could accommodate vegetarians and got the slightly offended reply that obviously they would. When we arrive and requested this type of accommodation, all the waiter could do was to read to us the vegetarian items on the menu (none!) and those where items could be removed to become vegetarian (half-)dishes...Second, the regular dishes are just awfully plain: a half-melon with some slices of proscuito, a gaspacho soup with a full mozeralla ball floating in the middle, a tartar beefsteak with no decoration, and the winner of the evening, a half-open can of sardines that look like a poor joke [see picture]. All the dishes we ordered could have been produced by a first year student in a cook college. Actually, given that the staff we saw looked very young, it may have been the case that the "chef" was a first year student. Even the wine was mediocre, a 2015 Coteaux du Layon with hardly any flavour.Third, those very basic dishes are tremendously overpriced. The can of sardines was 18 euros (compared with the 8 euros it sells in a fancy grocery), which makes opening it one of the most well-paid jobs on the planet! The final bill was higher than those of well-recognised and worth-visiting bourgeois cuisine restaurants in downtown Paris. As eg Le Petit Marguery near Place d'Italie.There is no good reason to visit this restaurant: when sitting outside, the nearby road is noisy, there are enough tables to make the proximity a nuisance, and the prices are close to highway robbery."
