Auberge le John Steele

That is surely one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city. they gave us a warm reception and the meal began with delightful canapés with our aperitifs. we both started with smoked salmon, which was very good, followed by steaks who were delicious, but used, quite. much to cut. we agree with the previous poster who was disappointed in the choice of the brotes, without apologising if there is a large bakery right on the road. we had aux pommel and cheese to follow, both very good. we would return and recommend.

We had two dinners here and the food is great the chef knows how to prepare the dish but because we where there twice we noticed that the cook only knows how to cook boring vegetables. And that is not nice. It seems all the...dishes get the same little heap of cooked vegies. The rest like starters and desert are great and also the main course is great but please change your vegie recept it does not do the main course a pleasure.

We enjoyed the service and building. The food and wine was excellent. Relaxing 4 course meal that was a good representation of a true French meal. Servers were attentive and tolerant of our lack of French speaking skills!

We ate here two days in a row. Both meals were excellent. They serve local food and the portions are quite good. The quality is high end, without the exorbitant price tag that would come with a similar meal in a bigger city. Both nights...we got the three course set menu and were not disappointed. The wine list is small but good. The service was friendly. The servers’ English wasn’t great, but the menus are translated and we could make ourselves understood with no problem.

I look for classic French food, based around set menus, and having scouted round the town checking the options, I think I found the best place here. Maybe slightly above average price, but that seemed typical for the town.
