"This little bistro has recently changed hands: a couple of weeks ago I passed by to see it full to the brim which was very good to see as the previous incarnation was tired and not great at all. So yesterday I went for a...lunch, a simple menu of 5 or so starters, mains and puds. I wanted to like it very much but to be blunt, the food was pretty awful. Tomato and Mozzarella was old cheese, icy tomatoes and watery salad that had mixed with the vinaigrette. The main course of Pork in mustard sauce, a classic of cooking. Sadly accompanied by penne pasta which was unseasoned, and unadorned, and some aubergine. It was just not great. How much better it would have been to have mashed or creamed potatoes and perhaps savoy cabbage with bacon, then you would have a classic bistro dish. I had a little conversation with Nathalie as she is the new patronne, and I wished her well, as its a really nice room, her staff were pleasant and it would be really nice to have an alternative to the Galerie which is the best place in town, consistently good though completely different in price and the Plantenet which is also a busy, friendly consistently good enough place. But I fear if this is going to be the standard, her restaurant may struggle. I hate criticizing restaurants because I've done it myself for ten years and its a tough tough business. But you have to at least get the food right. Its not the only thing, ambiance, position, staff, company, many many things go into making a good restaurant. But sadly, the food was mediocre at best. The coffee was awful, watery and poor. With a quarter pichet of Merlot it was 20 Euros. Not at fortune its true, but they need to sort themselves out or this particular re-working of the Cafe au Gare will not last long."

April 19 A delicious meal, fresh produce, well cooked and all the charm you would want in a traditional French bistro. The owners/staff are friendly and welcoming. We had the menu de jour, mine warm goats cheese salad, grilled lamb with wild rice and...vegetables then creme brûlée. Three course Meal for two with a pitcher of wine and coffee less than 40 Euro, Visited again in Sept 19 delicious sardines in cheese sauce starter quirky presentation in the tin;, grilled steak entrecôte; husband enjoyed liver and onions. It’s going to be a regular for us!

The first course salad with anchovies was delicious. I added a small amount of red wine vinegar the waiter brought to the table. The vinegar made the salad and sardines taste crisp and light. The sardines were some of the best I have ever had...that were not fresh from the ocean. The main dish was cold roasted beef with julienned zucchini and squash. The roast beef was accompanied with a sour raspberry puree instead of horseradish. Much better decision. The red table wine was tasty. It was a hot day and the decision to offer cold roast beef was to be commented.

we visited 2019 and again twice in september and October 2022. the place has gone from force to force. the two ladies who lead the place work incredibly hard and do not keep during the service, the kitchen is open so that they can see the...Koch hard on the work. the service runs in exactly the right tempo and can get quite a lot to do so, so the booking of a table is definitely recommended. the day menu is more fantastic worth with three curses for €18, each cursor lovingly prepared. I would highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant. the food is cooked with love, care and attention.

There are new owners here and we really wanted to like the place. It was friendly but rather like amateur hour without the expertise. There is a very limited selection and it is not expensive but I ordered my steak rare and it arrived and...I initially thought that it had not been cooked at all. I sent it back and it came back slightly warm on one side and absolutely blue at best. If you can't cook a steak properly then you should not be cooking. It was appalling. There is no wine list apart from wine by the jug/glass and when I asked if there was any sauces available with my steak I was met with an incredulous look as if I was mad. I asked for mustard and it came in those horrible little pa...

we visited this place some time back and we really did not cost our food. So we beat it for a long time after. but, friends began to tell us that it was not too bad and we should go another, so we have. Four of us went to dinner and we just ordered that anyway. three steaks and a fish dish. the steaks were okay, not exceptional, but okay. my friend who ordered the fish dish was not impressed, but again it was not unpleasant. we ordered a bottle blanquette with our meal and noticed that it was the low-end bottle of delmas (a very good producer in antugnac), but it was pleasant. we decided we didn't want desserts, but we got something. the coffee was good. when our bill arrived, we realized th...
