Cheval Blanc

Super cute restaurant for brunch. Great buffet with a variety of sweet AND savory options — key for brunch! Food is good, not outstanding but very solid. Except for the roast potatoes which are absolutely delicious. Ambiance is a bit of a weird mix (purple lighting under the bar with old stone wall), but it’s funky and generally works. I’ll be back!

Petite terrasse sympa mais restaurant se prenant beaucoup trop au sérieux. Personnel peu agréable. Patron également (sauf si on arrive en porche ou en jaguar, ou que l’on fasse partie du soit-​disant gratin de la société). La nourriture y est très bonne, mais à ces prix là, ce serait le maximum qu’elle né le soit pas.
J’y suis allée plusieurs fois et j’ai décidé que c’était terminé. Je n’aime pas passer pour le dindon de la farce, les prix sont nettement trop élevés par rapport à ce qu’il y a dans nos assiètes. Et pourtant, j’aime bien manger, mais pas à n’importe quelles conditions.
Je recommande ce resto aux personnes qui né vivent que pour le paraître. Perso ce n’est pas mon truc.

A favourite of my parents, and one, my youngest brother tells me, they have frequented increasingly often in recent years (i.e. since I left home). And it’s not hard to guess why. The unassuming building in which Au Cheval Blanc is located hides both the beautiful interior, and the gourmet aspirations of the restaurant inside.
Because the place is beautiful — old-​fashioned without being kitsch at all, with original features highlighted and friendly dark-​yellow walls that make it cosy and surprisingly light. The staff are just the same — friendly and welcoming.
The food is lovely — I had stuffed and deep fried courgette flowers, followed by Crevette geantes ‘facon chef’ (giant prawns, served with roasted tomatose and vegetables), and then shared a lime meringue pie with my mum for dessert. All of it lovely and tasty, but a bit oily for me — too much dressing on the salads, too much grease on the deep fried courgette and a bit too much olive oil on my tomatoes. Not enough to spoil them though. And the lime pie was tasty, but not quite what we expected (we were thinking lemon curd, it tasted more like cheesecake).
Not that any of that really dampens the experience. And I hope I get a chance to try it again sometime. Sounds like that’s entirely possible as well!
