Novotel Cafe - Tinqueux

Pleasant eating area, nicely spaced tables. Very friendly serving staff. It was a shame then, when my filet steak arrived, which was NOT filet. It didn't look like filet, cut nor taste like filet steak. Plus it was delivered with a sharp steak knife, which you don't need for a proper filet staeak. They then insisted it was sold to them as filet... Not faux filet, which is a cut of meat in France. Beware !! Don't get ripped off.

We stayed in this hotel for one night. Breakfast the next morning in this cafe was packed. Very busy. Still fairly clean/tidy considering. Not much requirement for interaction with the staff, as everything was self service and worked well. A basic choice of food/drink, but no complaints.

Last year, the restaurant was lovely, Unfortunately this year, not so. They served my son a burger that wasn't cooked at all. They appear to be exceptionally heavy handed with any dressing, rendering both my caesar salad and starter inedible they were swimming in dressing. The chips however were edible, hurrah. The staff were rushed, and off hand.

There are many places to eat nearby, but as it was cold and wet, it decided to stay inside. Very pleasant and welcoming staff. Food was good, like wine. There was the menu of the day that seemed good even if I went on the map. Overall, it's a good place to eat, without worry, if you're at the hotel.

Excellent dinner, first-class Champagne, reasonable wine, Crozes-Hermitage and exceptional service. Set menus had plenty of choice. Good atmosphere in the well-appointed restaurant.
