Au Plaisir Des Mets

We were driving to Lao for Sunday lunch and stopped off here by chance. Lovely people service excellent, food superb, you have wide choice menus, a la carte, well priced. Ambiance lovely the young chef has a great talent and cares about his food, came...to the table after service had finished to chat. We speak excellent French but English menus translations are on offer. Looking forwards to returning.

we ate here on a Friday 18 months ago and recognized some of the customers. this time we took the menu du jour and felt that the standard slipped. no choices, starter a cheese crispy with salat (ok,) main a steak hache (aka rindfleisch burger. that probably didn't pass pattern in mcdo,) that was alarming pink in the middle, unpresenable pud. the service was also only average. Then why should we be close again?

After visiting the chemin des dames we have made ourselves to bruyeres and laon a few kilometers further on looking for something to eat. the inner of the au plaisir des mets (in bruyeres not laon itself) is much more intelligent than the outer suggestions...as I discovered after I had asked my way for a table. beautiful tablecloth, pleasant ambiente, stand the technique toilets. we enjoyed our meal, freshly prepared with decent ingredients.

previous reviews have 1 star that was a bit hard, although I understand why. 5 stars are also not correct. small, pleasant restaurant in the small village. decoration was clean. Eating was in order, but nothing to write home. coq au van had no sose, but...Magned delicate, fab home made chips. chocolate mousse beautiful. red sancerre super! would I come back? no hurry, but would not avoid it. there were five more tables. waitress friendly, but they need french. I had worse, but much better.

Stayed at a local Gîte and needed somewhere for dinner our host recommended this restaurant. As we have a small dog we needed outside seating, to our surprise we were able to take the dog in which was great. To start we had the smoked...trout and the goats cheese salad followed by the “Pig Board” and a Ray (fish) fillet and a creme brûlée to finish. All the food was good and we would recommend. The waiter spoke no English and our French isn’t that good but he helped out and was a good guy.

We went here last saturday to have lunch and we were the only guests. Nice looking interior, friendly service and very clean restaurant. We took the menu of 26,00 euro which consisted of an entree choise between either snails and a tarte tatin of...chicon and a local cheese which was very good. Then we had also a choise of a main course between a turkey and cod nicoise. The cod I had was good, but the sauce was a bit too tomated. As desert we took the charlotte aux poires, which was about the second best desert I had in my whole life. It's a pity I can't give a 4,5 out of 5, because otherwise I would. My dad had the mussles with curry, which were also very good. A very nice experience. Ver carta

Having sadly noted that our favourite restaurant in Laon had closed we were looking for others to try in the area. Coming across the Au Plaisir des Mets on Tripadvisor and reading the many positive comments, we booked for the Friday and Sunday evenings when...we were staying for the nearby Golf Hotel whilst attending the Laon Classic Car event. Our party of four all really enjoyed the meals with each course being perfectly cooked and very well presented. With the menu only in French you do need to be familiar with the dishes if you are not a French speaker as the staff do not appear to speak English. It is a truly lovely little village restaurant and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyon...

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel in Chérêt. It wasn’t too far to drivhe and when we arrived around 7.40pm it was already full of people. Which is pretty amazing for a Thursday night. The two waiters were very attentive and polite. We had...Bevette with a shallot sauce frites. We asked for medium steaks and that is what we got. Extremely nice and the frites were very good and tasted like real potatoe instead of that dried powder type chip so many places do now. We enjoyed the meal so much, we went for the cafe gourmand. This consisted of delicious ice cream, chocolate cake, creme brûlée, fresh fruit, coffee and a biscuit. Much better than most places where they just dollop out a m...

we visited this local restaurant on the strength of the recommendation of our host. big mistake. it was the worst meal we've ever been served. Forget that we were driving 5.5 hours over France on the road to home. forget that it took them an hour to bring our ancestors. And that when we asked if there was a problem, in view of a neighbor family who had come after us already had received their main, said the garçon (which may not have been older than 15) it was the salat niçoise who took a long time because “it had been many different fresh ingredients”. When the food finally arrived, it was unusable. I don't mean good. I mean, they didn't feed her dog. the much anticipated fresh Niçoise sala... Ver carta
