After being in the catering business for over 30 years, I hate to write poor reviews, but our experience at this restaurant has prompted me to do so. We were the first to arrive were shown to one of the tables for 2 in the far corner of the restaurant. One chair looking out the other facing a wall!. We rapidly moved that chair to next to the one facing out so that both of us felt part of the restaurant. The music on, quite loudly was Gregory Porter who we like have seen in concert, but this is not the kind of relaxing background music we expect to have during a meal which we were looking forward to having read previous reviews. A amuse bouche was bought to the table we were told what it was. We placed our order wine choice. We both ordered the Lobster dish Grand Marnier Souffle for dessert. The lobster arrived on warm plates. This was a stew of beans in tomato with a piece of lobster 1 claw. The lobster which should have been the star of the dish was absolutely tasteless, and at a guess had been water bathed to cook through. No hint of a lobster bisque or any other flavour resembling this delicate crustacean in the beans and a foam of who knows what. So very disappointing to say the least. The souffle followed. Firstly the menu said that the dish would be served with a sorbet, what arrived was not sorbet , but after asking a waiter we were told was ice cream., so def not sorbet then. If you have to substitute a dish, then let the diners know! A pipet filled with Grand Marnier was present too, and if it had not been for that to rescue the dish again the whole ensemble would have been tasteless. The whole of the dessert was egg white, no hint of the base which under normal circumstances would have been folded into the whites, to result in a more dense dessert, which actually tastes of something. We had to ask for our wine to be bought over from an ice bucket to refill our glasses. This is not the standard of food that we expected. We visited other restaurants in Le Mans on this trip, and with no star, no pretence and no airs graces were by far much better.
We had an excellent evening at Le Grenier a Sel, everything in this restaurant was perfect: the atmosphere (cosy elegant in a small setup, genuine truly warm welcome), the very attentive, engaging and thoughtful service, the superb cuisine (presentation, variety, flavors, creativity) and the good wine selection. We felt welcomed and well cared for in every aspect; good consultation on the food and excellent wine recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food which had been prepared with passion and was of high quality. Traveling home from our vacation on the coast, we had an overnight stop at Le Mans. The good reviews on Tripadvisor and the walking distance from our hotel made us choose Le Grenier a Sel; I booked a table the same day by phone. Thanks to the whole team for our wonderful last dinner in France.
Perfect. Great ambience . Immaculate service . Interesting menu . Above all , marvellous cooking. We stuck to a main course plus dessert . Turbot followed by Pistachio/cherry soufflé . I gave in to temptation and slipped a cheese course . One of the very best meals we have ever eaten.
