"We were greeted with a smile, not too much dialogue but no more silently, by a young man who did not seem to be a waiter for a very long time, but who was very pleasant! We were 7 and we ordered each one something to drink to sit quietly and discuss. So I can only put this on drinks, service and friendliness. The welcome of the young man was nice and the atmosphere was very good on the terrace. Then the drinks were good too, with a quick service. I enjoyed this glass on the terrace, I recommend testing once. On the other hand, don't go to the front bar, the reception is not suitable, I ran."

"an unusual experience, second passage for us and always happy to choose this place for a meal off the marked trails. their speciality of hat looks like a raclette, but meats and cheeses are of very good quality, helpful and dauntable of efficiency. We were greeted with a smile, even with our two great dogs. we recommend this establishment with closed eyes"

"we have this restaurant and the associated motel for many years as stop on the way to and from other france. Previously it was so good with high-quality food at a fair price in a pleasant environment. our recent visit was completely spoiled by the maitre d while he was brutal at a previous visit, this time he took rest to a new level. we arrived 5 minutes early for our 19:30 booking, presented us and held the conversation in French. the star turned around his best oliver payton thin vagrant saw his nasen impression and naked they follow me on us. we had hardly moved before he decided to run an animated discussion with the cook that we stand like lemons before he repeated his curt statement and led us to our table. the meal was well prepared and cooked, but where before there was a selection of sauces with our côte de boeuf, this time there was no, just chalked scab from a pot. we ate our meal and asked the waitress whether we should report to the recipe for the bill, this was confirmed and she advised that he would receive the table number preferentially. at the arrival at the reception we gave the gent our table number and he, wordless, typed in our details and the cost (from over €100 for two) came on the card screen. he didn't speak, but while I paid some people, went in and his face glowed up and he engaged them in welcome talk while he continued to ignore the customers he served. I can only assume that the newcomers were his best friends, influential restaurant critics, or he owed them money."

"We’ve eaten here 2 or 3 time before and had a perfectly OK meal, so perhaps it is a bit unfair to write up our latest visit. However I’m just writing as we found it.It was a very warm evening and we’d booked for the terrace at the back of the hôtel on the edge of a small square. I ate from the 25€ menu and my wife from one at 33€. We ordered a bottle of red wine - a relatively local Mercury 1er cru Les Croichots. Unfortunately the glasses used here are fairly clumsy things with a rolled rim which don’t really allow you to fully appreciate the contents, but it was a good enough bottle.My wife’s starter was 6 snails in garlic, served in individual little “egg cups”. She found them rather lacking in garlic and a bit oily. Mine was chaource in filo pastry with a green salad. The salad dressing was rather sharp. It was a fairly normal vinaigrette (vin aigre does mean sour wine, after all) but could have done with the addition of a little honey to cut the harshness slightly; it would have gone far better with the cheese parcel then.We then had quite a wait, watching the town youth at play in the square and listening to some bad music. The waiter was working at a furious pace, but every now and again he just disappeared into the kitchen for some time, presumably waiting for the next dishes to appear at the pass. The terrace has seating for 24, but there were only about 17 people eating so it was not exactly full.Our mains eventually appeared. My wife had ordered Truite de la Petite Montagne with butter noisette sauce and almonds, and my main was Charolaise steak in a wine and shallot sauce. The trout are bred in the cold waters of the river Valouson in the Jura, and my wife said hers was cooked absolutely perfectly. However she did think the buerre noisette had a slightly greasy taste for some reason, and it didn't have the brown colour one would expect.My steak turned out to be very chewy, and although I’d been given a steak knife it was extremely difficult to cut. I’d had to put the first bit back on the plate as I just couldn’t bite through it, and although I did manage to cut a few bits and eat them it got progressively more difficult. I might have returned it, but it coincided with one of the waiter’s periods in the kitchen and when he did eventually reappear I’d gone off the idea of steak. I ate the little accompaniment of vegetables and mopped up the sauce with some bread. It’s possible that had I eaten à la carte the cut of meat might have been better, but I’m not sure I want to find out now. A three course 25€ menu is not exactly cheap anyway.My wife’s menu included cheese, but mine didn’t. When the waiter cleared the plates I said I’d wait for dessert until my wife was ready for hers. What we did not expect was to have to wait another 20 minutes or more for a small platter of three cheeses and lettuce leaf. When it did eventually arrive we’d been at the table for 3 hours. We told him we’d give desserts a miss and to bring us the addition. It had not arrived when we’d eaten the cheeses between us, so my wife went to pay inside. Another (Dutch) diner had just beaten her to it, with the same complaint about the speed of service. There was no-one there other than the waiter, who was extremely apologetic and only charged for two 25€ menus - not exactly any large reduction in truth given an inedible steak and no desserts.Our evening was not helped by it being mid-summer's eve, the evening when free music is heard on the streets throughout France. What we had not far from us were two guys - a saxophonist and a drummer. We have very wide tastes in music and certainly enjoy jazz, but two hours of someone playing with no recognisable tune accompanied by heavy-handed drumming just did not lift our spirits. People clapped every now and again, but whether it was in appreciation or because they were glad he had finished for a moment I don’t know. OK, nothing to do with La Paix, and I’m not blaming them for it. It would have been nice to have had some decent music to listen to in the long gaps between each course though.We’ve had serviceable meals here before, and my wife who loves fish would return for the fresh water trout alone. Not if the kitchen can’t get its act together though, and I’ll be interested to see other feedback."

"We had to try the star of the city. The welcome is courteous, the surprising decoration but that goes well with a creative cuisine. aperitif, various very colorful mouths. Inside, zebra tomatoes with some caviar grains, the well-presented set, in dish rednets, red peppers crustacean sauce then in dish veal with mushroom purée, veal juice sauce. then cream of epoisse and frosted cassis. bauble-shaped dessert on sandy paste. meal accompanied by an excellent saint aubin served by a friendly sommelier. the dishes are very colorful, the kitchen is tasteful and creative and the whole should have been on top if there had not been a big failure in the course of this menu in service. Indeed big wait for the dish, the redts arrived only after an hour after the entrance and barely warm to see cold while the sauce and trim were hot then the dish arrived less than mn after served with hot calfskin but in overcooked. a the Euro addition for the explanations of the bosses did not convince us (a change of card) because this problem of unfolding only happened for our table. It's a shame because the kitchen is really creative and harmonious."
