Restaurant with bar appreciated for its simple formula with fresh products
Paul Gineste of Saurs launched this restaurant in 1959 in Paris, then it was Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lyon and then Montpellier. The formula is simple and you have no choice: a walnut salad and then a 170 gram counter with its home fries (will) and its famous sauce. This sauce, whose recipe is jealously guarded secret, is a feast and comes with a soft and delicious meat. All products are fresh and prepared to order. Inside on several floors, you can find the Scottish and black wall decor and lemon jaune that nobody the nappes, menus and waitresses. Two wines in choice: a Bordeaux, Réserve reserve and a Faugères. If you still have some appetite, taste the desserts; fresh le of pineapple; for the gourmands, dare the profiteroles! Arm yourself for patience because there are often the world waiting in front of the bar, ideal being to present around 19 h or 22 h.

My wife and I pass this place often, and it typically has a long line to get in, so we took a chance one recent rainy evening when there was no line at all. We were not disappointed. The starter salad was simple and straightforward, the steak was relatively tender and flavorful, the fries were plentiful, and the house wine was pleasant. The service was cheerful, and the ambiance was convivial. Is it worth waiting in line for? I suppose it depends on the weather.
Seul bémol, le restaurant n'est point généreux.
Avec six menus pris, la sauce est bien chiche,
Supplément à 4 euros, trop peu, malheureux.
L'ambiance, hélas, chaque table collée,
La serveuse insistait, nous serre à foison.
Repas inconfortable, espace compressé,
Mais le goût, lui, demeure en perfection.
Jamais déçu par la formule ????
