While in La Rochelle on holiday, we wanted to find a place which was away from the tourist areas…read more We found Au LR which looked nice, local and was pretty busy.
As I sat down and was looking at the menu, I realised that all the customers were locals. Good sign! Also, the waitress didn't really speak English. Another good sign in a way! :)
Combination of our collective French language knowledge and a bit of Google Translate help, we managed to more or less work out what was what.
I had a duck & prawn salad. It was delicious! So good! I am not a massive wine drinker although have drank it more recently. So since we were in France, I decided to have some wine.
Since I don't know much and also it was in French, I just went for what I believe was the house wine (the white). It tasted good to me. :)
As I mentioned, the waitress did not speak English but the service was good. They kept topping up the bread and did their best to help us order etc.
The restaurant has various different offers (set menus).
