les gourmandises - Puteaux

Had a great diner, honest food, no flair yet delicious and well cooked. The service was excellent and the price was very adequate. Great place to eat in Puteaux.

Lovely village, Les escargots, were excellent, steak fries are always wonderful, good an simple, Calf leaver with the roast potatoes garlic and parsley, dessert good. House wine was very good. I always stop there when I am in Paris.

Gourmands should look elsewhere, but its a friendly and pleasant restaurant on the main square in Puteaux: spacious inside, large fish tank, etc. The food is fine nothing special but well prepared and not bad value compared to elsewhere. Most dishes seemed to come with rice, beans bit soggy) and ratatouille. We tried the cod special and sea bream all the fish cooked just right. There's a child's menu for 10E and it's the usual burger drink and one boule of ice cream), but at least home made. House wine is drinkable at 10E per pichet, demi litre. So not a bad choice for a very welcoming dining experience don't expect too much and you'll enjoy the evening.

The staff in a restaurant can make the difference between an average experience and a memorable one. The waitress here was very helpful and friendly, advising what to eat and the specialties to avoid. There is even an English language menu but beware of some of the translations; I don 't think Boeffe au Dauphinoise really means Pork Snout ! The duck in honey with garlic potatoes was delicious, as was the steak in Roqufort sauce. The terrine au Grand Mere was a little disappointing as a starter but the wine was very good. We ate here twice during our stay, as much for the cheerful ambience as the good food.

We came here upon recommendation from a staff member at the hotel we were staying at as our first choice (Sain Sert Le) was closed. Upon reflection, I really should have looked on trip advisor! We ordered our food and after a terrible starter (shrimp and crayfish salad) we decided to pay and leave, not staying for our main course. The seafood was terrible (perhaps cheap frozen stuff) literally lathered in marie rose sauce. Our bread was placed directly onto the table, no side plate or butter. Was expecting better service and better tasting food. Shame as it nearly spoiled our stay in Paris.
