"We knew going in that the alleyway this little French restaurant is on was a tourist trap. Looking at their vast menu we all thought we would find something to enjoy. We were seated quickly, at a table that still had leftovers from the previous diners. My daughter noted that a raclette device was not a given for every table. We were given menus and left to ponder our decisions. Beef bourguignon caught our eye and our daughter waffled between pasta and a fillet mignon and decided on the later. I offered to trade with her if she didn't like her meal. A 1/2 litre of red wine sealed our order. Beef was not treated well by any means at this establishment. Overcooked, dry fillet was reclaimed moderately by an herbed bearnaise style sauce on the side. Fries and a little salad rounded out the plate. The stew came with a potato and a couple of quartered carrots in a bowl with chunks of stew beef that needed a sharp knife to cut. My husband's service was lacking a knife and we couldn't flag down a waiter to get one, I cut up my meal then handed over the knife. The sauce was delicious, deeply herbed and beefy, the meat over cooked and tough, expecting softened stewed meat that falls apart as you eat it was not the outcome. Sigh. Find a place off the tourist street and enjoy some French cooking by someone who cares about quality over quantity."
