This particular night we chose to share everything beginning with escargot, followed by prime rib for two. It was accompanied by potatoes and a salad. We ended the meal with a peach dessert. Our server chose the wine. First we had a white, then later a red. Both were perfectly paired with our starter and main, and reasonably priced. This was a delicious meal from start to finish. Be sure and make a reservation to avoid disappointment. Many people were turned away while we ate.

I also asked them to add cheese. I think it was called the l'Univers Burger. For wine I got one of the recommend Rosé from their specials board, which they brought to the table before we ordered. My family all got the Salad of the Day, which changes....everyday. Sat on the outside patio so it was included and breezy, with some shade. Everything was super clean. The wait staff came to check on us constantly and were a delight. They spoke both French and English very well. Would 100% stop here again.

The room is small, nice decoration around the wine, since it is true that the first selling point…read moreis the shelves of liquids that cover two walls. But all bottles are vertical, so we suspect that there is a very strong rotation. We are not here to keep but to turn. The written (therefore permanent) selection of wines is quite short and balanced. Then there are many interesting wines. In terms of dishes, many plates that don't require to much preparation work. Their real interest lies in a good selection of base elements, qualitative. Only the half saucisson with truffle does not have much interest even if I have no doubt that it pleases many customers. The crostino with gratin is nice and generous. Same thing for the duck burger, with quality elements. But hey, it's just a burger ... Only ravioli truffle and foie gras are really a kitchen a little worked. The whole is honest, the escalope of foie gras well cooked. I will not swear that the ravioli are homemade but they are of good quality. The cube parsnips that accompany the dish are seasonal. Bravo. But it is a very sweet vegetable. With the fat of the liver, this makes a too similar assemblage. Even if the added chives in order to clarify all this, I will choose rather a vegetable a little more typed. I always thought that adding sugar to fat is too much. That's why I never take sweet wines on foie gras, Monbazillac (without T!) or Sauternes. Sympathetic dessert: a fruit compote in red wine with several spices. Lemon ice cream and cactus (anecdotal!) just balance the massive dose of sugar. Only regret, a star anise in the verrine. When you bite into it, the rest of the dessert is dead. The answer from the waitress and the chef: "It never happened, the customers never complained", is not one. What is a bit (choose from the list according to your mood) fun, hilarious, disconcerting, despairing is the incredible series of rave reviews on some website. Between (I quote): excellent, PERFECT, a delicacy, a must, succulent ... (I stop the litany), we do not know where to turn. To conclude, it's a nice address as there are many. Its main interests lie in a selection of quality products, generous starters and a good selection of wines. It's a nice place, cozy. Check a bit high of 10% but we are in Trouville. As for the service, it is friendly unlike some comments read. But it is true that it was winter so quieter. I have no doubt that in summer, the two waitresses must be a little more "hard". Normal. There are many more people and there is a certain type of customers in Deauville / Trouville who must know how to watch so as not to see a service go into a spin.

I opted for the 30 Euro menu that offered up oysters (which I love) as the appetizer, monkfish (which I also love) as the main and a dessert (I think I ordered creme brûlée). Everyone else had all sorts of interesting and delicious things (beef cheeks was one of them). Everyone was very happy with all of their choices. We enjoyed very good service from both the waitstaff and someone who I believe to be either the manager or possibly the owner. He took time to talk with us about the individual dishes and their preparation, recommending wines we might enjoy with our dinner, and other things we might like to do while in the area. It was a delicious and most enjoyable evening.
