Le Carré des Gourmets

We went to the care des gourmets as part of a group of 25 (mostly French) gardeners whilst on a weekend trip visiting gardens. My husband and I are both vegetarian and the restaurant, supposedly a 'gourmet restaurant', was to include a special meal for us. What a disappointment. The first course was some sort of tasteless tart and the main was; a tart! A small tart with puréed potatoes! on a very thin base of pastry topped with rounds of courgette and tomato. This was served with a lettuce leaf on top. Words almost fail me. What sort of chef serves two tarts? What sort of chef thinks that a small tart is a vegetarian meal? Where do these chefs train? I am almost beyond disappointment with French restaurants serving a poor excuse for a vegetarian meal. We usually get a plate of vegetables and usually a very small quantity of vegetables at that. I haven't eaten meat for many years but the main course for the meat eaters looked totally unappetising and of a uniform brown sludge colour - just like the first course in fact. The evening was saved only by the company and weather!

Couldn't be set in a more spectacular setting . Menu a bit confusing to sort out with so many different set price options with added specials which was on a desperate menu on the table . I think individually priced menu for each dish would be easier . But aside from that starter was massive so I had to leave room for other courses. Rest of meal I couldn't fault . My husbands main course as a tomato tart - just a tomato tart in the middle of the plate . Really sparse looking but his starter and dessert was lovely. This was a factor which came back to the set menu options. Wine delicious and a really good choice . Would go back if I can talk my husband around

Without any expectations apart of the location me and my girlfriend were delighted with the atmosphere, food specially and service. Thank you so much and can't wait to come back.

We were here on a Wednesday night and thought we wouldn't need a reservation, but a large group had shown up so all the tables were full.

The food is far from boring. Beautifully presented and equally matched in taste. The terrace view is a perfect backdrop for dining.
