Poivre Rouge - Saint-Contest

Don't bother with this place, no atmosphere staff were not friendly it wasn't busy so can't use that as an excuse, the food well, burgers on brioche buns with chips were ordered the chips were frozen the buns were not brioche but so hard we struggled to cut through them with a steak knife! Cod loin with fresh veggies was ordered, the fish was ok but the veg was awful the green beans were frozen and like mush the bed of veg was mush but I couldn't even decide what kind of mush it was!! We couldn't get out of there quick enough

Visited as the restaurant opened for the evening at 19;00 the staff wanted us to sit in a dark corner I asked to sit by the window the waitress wasn't happy.Ordered our food my partner had the salad as her main great selection and she had her fill of the salmon, I had the ribs disappointed they had not been cooked on the grill but they tasted fine.Had the local cider , excellent and good value.Creme brulle to finish.Meal was under 50 euros, service was quite slow but they were very busy.

We were quickly shown to a table. The set menu was excellent value. The starter salad option includes shell fish and large and small snail if you like those sorts of things - main course was a steak and desert was an excellent Camembert. Daley have I had a three course meal in a chain Resturant with beer that was such good value. Our waitress was particularly good. The only downside to the Resturant is the bill paying. It's a complex and long winded process and rather takes the joy out of the equation. That being said I would come again as it was such great value.

This was one of the worst meals I have ever been served in France. Both our meals were cold and clearly they we pre-cooked which the restaurant should be able to heat up, but managed to fail to do even this simple task.The green salad consists of a few lettuce leaves with dressing.Waiters did not understand that a green salad is more than this.The rib steak was very tough, pretty much inedible.Server was friendly, if incompetent, but when complained about the salad and cold food, the waiter was borderline rude.Restaurant was fairly busy with some locals, so maybe the standard of French cuisine has significantly declined. Probably better off with a Big Mac.

This restaurant Is fantastic if you like steak, their speciality.We had two cocktails and a mixed meat platter, roast lamb and a steak, a pudding, a beer, a half bottle of wine all for €70.This as also very convenient for the nearby Premiere Classe hotel.
