LE MENESTREL - Reservar una mesa

Visited while staying at a nearby guest house. Small simple unpretentious bar, with an area set aside with space for a miximum of diners. Especially friendly place, I walked in never having visited before and was greeted warmly by the barman who came out...fo behind the bar to shake my hand and bid me welcome. Pleasant modern clean with bright decor, but typical of the whole area English speakers are likely to be very limited. Shown to a table, the lady proprietor then came and after getting me a drink took my order. Small limited menu on a blackboard. This however only contains the starters and deserts. Choice of cahrcuterie, toast with either brie or camembert and tartare of either scallops or salmon. I chose the scallop tartare, which was fine. Mains well there is the dish of the day which naturally they push but there turned out to be a choice of about or other dishes depends what they had that day which I only learned about after ordering by watching/listening to what other customers asked for. Anyway dish of the day was a beef brochette pieces of beef grilled on skewers. The beef was superb, if told it was fillet steak on the skewers I would not have been surprised, tender, delicate, no fat at all quite delicious with some good French mustard, chips and green salad. Thhis was not fine dining but good quality simple delicious food. Deserts were a choice of tarts or ice cream, and a chocolate desert I could not fathom. Thurned out to be a small chocolate cake with a chocolate fondant filling, very nice. Delicious bottle of Cotes du Rhone Villages no wine list, so when I asked for one, and replying that I would prefer red, they brought bottles of to the table for me to choose. Food was a bargain, about Euros if I remember. Staff were so friendly I stayed drinking at the bar where the locals were also very amenable and generoussly bought me drinks. A fun international evening ensued. An enjoyable and welcoming place.

small moments with my dear and tender past this noon at René and Laetitia. We had a very good time and we ate very well: the pear was just delicious! I won't even talk about fresh fries and homemade mayo: a treat. A safe value in the Lievin/Lens area.

It is not at all to shake hands with customers, but rather a gesture towards customers. A piece of **** in my st jacco tartar. No excuse, and the only explanation we're going to see with our supplier. The coffee would have been enough.
