"Having eaten at many French motorway cafes over the last forty years, we were very pleased to find the Courte Paille at Chateauvillain Orges on our way South. All three of us had the pork, which was tender, and the usual pomme frites, which were...very tasty. The wine was also of a very good quality, so we were very pleased to have found something different from the usual motorway fare. In fact, we were so pleased that we each decided (without confiding our thoughts to the other two) to stop here on the return journey. Unfortunately, on such return we decided upon the steak two having the entrecote and me having the pave de rumsteak. My colleagues found the entrecote to be OK, but my rumsteak was even tougher than the leather soles of the boots that I had left behind in England. Prior to the main course, we were given a 'salad ' which comprised a few lettuce leaves with salad cream, and to follow the main course, we ordered a selection of cheeses. Maybe something was lost in translation, but we each received one portion of a different cheese! Finally, there was quite a long wait for the coffee.To sum up, I will return to this restaurant, as I still consider it to be better than the usual motorway fare, but I will do my best to arrive before 12.00 noon, and I will choose the more tender meats, followed by a dessert!"
