Le Petit Bistro

The proprietor of our chambres d'hote highly recommended Le Petit Bistro, so we gave it a try. Sadly, after the build up it had received, we were decidedly underwhelmed by the experience. Described as serving high quality local food "with a twist", we were expecting more, especially at the prices charged. The welcome - and the service generally - was efficient, rather than friendly. The menu was short - always a good sign of fresh ingredients, in my opinion. My entree of "croustillant de chevre aux figues" was pleasant enough, but did "exactly what it said on the tin" - no more, no less. My "salade lyonnaise" was made with excellent ingredients, but arrived with no dressing. (Maybe that was the twist?) My wife's main course of goose breast was well cooked, as was her dessert of "pain perdu" with salted caramel. Overall, we were a little disappointed, but perhaps our expectations had been raised too high.

Their food is quite good but not exceptional. I had sea bass with mushroom risotto & my husband had goose. They cook meats & fishes to proper degree & their sauces are good but could be more interesting. Presentation is a bit weak for their price mark & the atmosphere is too IKEA ( which you would not guess from the outside.) Service was good & they have English menu for tourists with limited French. Most dishes about $20Euro but they get you on the wine.

Lovely place with good food though a little pricy. My friend had Moelle à l'os rôti, first time and it was delicious. The ambiance is relaxed with young friendly waiters. We'll come back for sure.

Very central location but may need to book. The service was very good and the food excellent. The portions were of a good size and a wide choice to suit most tastes.
