LE GRAND BLEU

We made a telephone reservation at approximately 8:30 p.m. and were greeted by the manager, who created a very pleasant atmosphere.

You can always expect top-notch food and service here, particularly with the pan fried foie gras, which are truly impressive!

They will present the food with true introduction and good vibes. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants the best service!

We came here because of the great reviews, and were very pleased that they were able to sit us even though we didn't have a reservation (and were dressed for hiking). The service was very warm, attentive, and efficient, and the place had a nice, laid back ambience. In terms of the food, however, it was a mixed experience:

Foie gras, beef carpaccio, and langoustine appetizer - 5/5. This was the best dish by far, with the flavors melding together beautifully. To be honest, this set us up to expect all other dishes to be great, but this was unfortunately not the case.

Sweet breads with vegetables - 4/5. Still good, but we've have had better versions (sauces, accompaniments) in other places.

Steak main - 4/5. Same as above, nothing to write home about - good but not much more remarkable/impressive versus even how we cook at home.

Duck main - 2/5. This was the most disappointing dish as the duck was incredibly tough (we've been having duck throughout this trip and this was the toughest by far), and the sauce it came with didn't really go well with it. The onions (I think?) that came with it were also a bit burned, leaving a sort of bitter taste so I didn't even eat them.

Macaron dessert - 3/5. This was very creative and interesting, but didn't quite work as well in flavor execution as in theory. I appreciated the ingenuity of the olives, and asparagus, etc but felt like it needed something to tie everything together, and make the dish more pleasurable, not just interesting.

Fruit jelly dessert - 2/5. This was also quite disappointing - likely lots of thought and effort put in it, but the final flavors were flat/bitter/simplistic, and could definitely be improved.

Overall, we liked around half the dishes, didn't like the other half, but truly appreciated the nice, friendly service.
