"In a nutshell, the €39 evening menu (without wine is astonishing value for Michelin star quality, and I say that with the backing of a fair amount of experience. We also stayed at the Best Western hotel just down the road. L'AbSix is located in a lovely wooden building. Ambience is perfectly acceptable and table spacings are comfortable. Service was by an enthusiastic young man with wobbly but well intended English (no Spanish or Catalan who did his very best to make sure we ordered what we really wanted. Every single dish was highly inventive, perfectly in equilibrium, well presented, and full flavoured. The langostine ice cream (starter was astonishingly inventive, while the foie gras ravioli was a flavour bomb. The entrecot was perfectly medium (in France!!! , the bouillabaisse was another flavour bomb, and the veal in brioche crust sublime (could have had a bit more sauce . Be careful of the chocolate souffle for dessert it is huge. If already full, the delightful glazed cherry invention was innovative and more delicate. Wines are reasonably priced. Would go back there in a heart beat."

"Very friendly restaurant. A product quality served at the top. The chef grilles meat in the wood fire in front of the clientele. Meat, tin side, beef rib etc are presented in a glassed refrigerated cabinet with customer view. We are not mistaken about quality and quantity.... Copyy plate, think to keep a place for desserts. I recommend the eyes closed. Enjoy."

"We arrived with the help of GPS promptly at 12noon today, simultaneously with two or three other French couples and families. The location is unprepossessing, in the middle of a row of car dealerships, of all things! The maitre d'hotel and other staff were already stationed outside and gave us a really warm and sincere greeting. It was unbearably hot and humid, and while the outdoor seating was appealing, we opted to sit in the pleasantly air-conditioned interior. It's a lovely spacious airy room, with generous tables generously spaced, with good table linen and attractively set. There is tasteful background music which, after noticing it once, truly receded into the background, for once. We declined an aperitif and began examining the menu. We opted for the daily €25 menu, which offered some choice, though we both ended up ordering the same thing: an excellent tuna tartare piled into a shallow bed of tomato gazpacho and topped with minislices of poached peach, of all things! Sounds strange but it worked beautifully. The starter was followed by a delicious main course of fork-tender filet of veal on a bed of girolle mushrooms, cameralized carrots, and potato mousse. To top it off, one is invited to head over to an over-the-top dessert buffet, created by the chef de cuisine who is a pastry specialist, with no fewer than two dozen choices. We each had about five mini-portions which were divine. The €25 menu is served at weekday lunch, when it includes a quarter-liter of wine, a beer, or a half-bottle of mineral water. Next time -- and there WILL be a next time -- we intend to explore the more elaborate menus, all of which looked fantastic. Service was among the best we have ever experienced, and I go back to the days of La Cote Basque and Café Chauveron and Lutèce! It was friendly and smiling, without being obsequious or false, and very efficient, without any obnoxious over-hovering or pretension. The pace was perfect. Franck Séguret, the chef de cuisine, made the rounds of all the tables -- many guests in the restaurant, which began shortly to fill up, were clearly regulars -- and he proved to be a truly charming and accommodating man who surely sets just the right tone for all of his numerous staff. We are already eagerly planning our next visit to the Clos des Lys."
