Great staff, they were very nice and helpful, easy check in but uncomfortable bed- Restaurant was outstanding, very busy but so worth the wait. Food was unexpectedly great, scallops and duck and wine was very reasonable

This is a hotel restaurant. In a 2 star hotel. And like many hotel restaurants, it is very brightly lit. Hardly romantic. The clientele, at least in October, seems to be a mix of hotel guests and tourists staying elsewhere. We got into a conversation with a Danish hairdresser and his Danish hairdresser wife who were delighted to practice their English. But the menu is extensive, the service is very friendly, and the food ends up being way above your expectations when you first walk in. And the portions are quite large. The service was friendly and quite excellent.

I used to be a regular customer of Les Minotiers however after my last visit I shall not return. I used to particularly enjoy their most extravagant menu Le Terroir at €37, which includes their famous foie gras fait Maison and comes paired with matched wines for an additional cost.

The overriding problem today was the appalling lack of service. After waiting 15 minutes to even recieve the menu we ordered a bottle of wine and a selection of dishes. The rose wine was NOT chilled when it arrived halfway through my starter and so I had to add ice cubes.

I had the foie gras, which remains good albeit expensive compared to a similar quality at St Maurice. However, things went rapidly downhill after this. Madame's 22 Euro lamb pie consisted of a massive flavourless pastry top, 3 large potatoes and a limited amount of grisly fatty poor quality lamb. An absolute outrage and the majority was untouched. The plates sat uncollected for at least 45 minutes and we resorted to feeding the pastry to the sparrows. The manager didn't seem to care that it was not enjoyed even when I emphasized that the dish was a major disappointment. My magret de canard was adaquete but wasn't special like before. The cheese platter was roughly cut and not served at a cold enough temperature to enjoy. Dessert of chocolate fondant was good but my coffee was not. Extremely poor service meant lunch took almost three hours - we were not asked if we enjoyed the meal not were we thanked for paying the overly expensive 78 euro bill.

At the same time a neighbouring table had food spilled over a customer and wasn't offered a drink even it seemed.

Bad bad service and desperately needs to improve. I miss the old days!!!!
