Courte Paille - Reservar una mesa

Le Courte Paille translates as the short straw we should have known by the name not to stop but in doing so we did indeed draw the short straw. We were seated quite quickly but waited an age for firstly the menus and then for our order to be taken. We ordered main courses and had to ordered dessert at the same time!. We waited some time and then had the bizarre experience of being given a welcome salad which consisted of some dressing in the bottom of a bowl with bitter lettuce dumped on top? the first time we have experienced this. The mains arrived, I had chosen Confit de Canard with peppercorn sauce and Jacket potato, on the plate was a dessicated potato which looked as if it was a WW1 leftover!! and an OK(ish) duck leg. The sauce was obviously from a packet as was the sour cream and chive for the jacket. Oh it was also served on a cold plate. My wife 's meal was an experience equal to mine. The desserts were also from the cash and carry and had nothing to recommend them either. It cost me €42 for this and a bottle of Perrier

We wanted a quick meal after a day of sightseeing. Say down at 5:00 and didn't see waiter for 15 minutes despite being only ones in restaurant. Food was fine but nothing special. After getting food waited 40 min to see a new waiter. Apparently the original one left and only one person trying to serve about 8 tables.

We were a group of 10 and this eatery seemed to be able to accommodate us the food was pretty good starters fine mains all pretty average, when we asked for coffee they said sorry no cream ok we said milk no was the answer I cannot believe that a restaurant does not have cream or milk, oh well we live and learn

The waiter didn't speak anything but french, threw service on the table, forgot 3 orders and ignored us most of the time. The food was burned an raw and i had a bad stomach afterwards... Go somewhere else its not even cheap ....

You get seated and they wait tables. The food and the drinks are of a very average quality and expensive for what you get. There is WiFi, decent music and the waitress was friendly. So I guess that I was lucky.
