This, however, effectively defeats mapping apps, and you will spend time driving in circles if you decide to force the issue. It's a really clever way to cut down on in-town traffic, actually! The restaurants in the hotel district just outside the Sanctuary are what you would expect of tourism-based businesses catering to often elderly pilgrims from all over the world: a lot of mediocre, lowest common denominator food. I figured we had to just deal with it, since the actual town is up a hill and a bit of a stroll--not really that far, but a world away if you have mobility issues... Fortunately, we discovered that there's an elevator in the street that will whisk you up to the level of the cemetery, rendering the town a reasonable walk away. Dad always had a fascination with the Basque, so we thought we'd give O Piment Rouge a shot. And I'm so glad we did! The servers just had to be the owners--no employees could be so solicitous and friendly. And the food was just a delight: fresh; unusual flavors and combinations; lovely presentation. Offering a jar of piment d'Espelette on the table didn't hurt matters, either!

Our server warmed up to us and spoke to us in English as she rushed around serving all the tables. There were many regular locals and some foreigners enjoying their lunches.

The breakfast buffet has a nice selection of pastries, cold cuts, eggs and coffee. You're able to boil your eggs to your preference. Their scrambled eggs are creamy. For dinner, we went for their prixe fixe menu. I ordered salad, linguine with squid and trio of desserts. The salad was great except for the breaded chicken which was dry and tough. They should not have added it in. The squid were tender and cooked well. There was so much pasta that it can feed 2. My other relatives ordered the Camembert with pork belly. We were expecting a decent size of pork but they thin slices of pork like bacon. The pork skin was tough and not crispy. Wish that they have described it better. The desserts were crème brûlée, tiramisu and chocolate fudge. All of them great. Dinner totaled around $120 euros with a bottle of rose.

Most of those restaurants are one star and two stars, so in comparison to them, Le Parc is pretty decent. But keep in mind, I also have to compare it to other places in France and the food is just 3 stars. Value: Fixed price menu offered entree and a plate for €16, which is great by Paris standards Food: duck confit was tasty but it could have been seasoned better. It was good, but not incredible French fries were a little bland and a little less crisp than they should be. Onion soup was decent but looked like it was reheated, well, no, IT WAS reheated, which I can understand, they do that a lot in France, but it's just worth noting. Wine: Very affordable, several bottles under €20. Got 50cl of the house red for €5.5, great value, okay wine, still better than you'll get in the states for twice the price tho Staff: Very friendly, better than many French restaurants. Spoke English well, and were very polite. Service: Decent, although I'm still getting used to waiting forever to get the check Cleanliness: not your typical French restaurant, updated, modern, clean. Fresh white table cloths, nice place settings, excellent lighting. Considering it's also the site for the morning buffet for the best western it's attached to, they do a great job of making it inviting. That and the fixed price menu is what made us decide on this place. All those factors add up to 3.5 stars for me.....and that's weighted by French standards (ie, being nice to customers adds value to my review, etc)
