The interior felt like i was in someone's house for a meal. We ordered the house specialty: la poulet au pot. it was the most delicious and hearty meal yet not rich and filling. the broth was somewhat sweet yet salty too and not overly so. We also ordered a 50 cL of red wine. We ordered a flourless chocolate cake for dessert with ice cream. after that we had some espresso. I was so happy.

Excellent restaurant, with amazing service…read more The food is delicious. We had awesome 2 soups as starters (~€7) - one with mushrooms, bacon and foie gras, one with butternut and chili. Then we had a veal beer carbonnade (€15.50) and a pork risotto (€21), both very good. Dessert was a citrus mousse (€7), very good and light. Note: They have a daily €25 menu - the butternut soup and the veal were from there, the dessert was a Galette des Rois which we didn't took because a bit classic. But you only have 1 option per course in this menu, even if they are very arranging and seem to allow switches. As for the service: we were served an AMAZING foie gras - duck - soup amuse-bouche, then chocolates with the coffee, then a free coffee, then paid only half price for the dessert, without asking for anything. Waiters here are super nice and bring water super quickly, again without you having to ask for anything. Service is definitely one of the reasons why we will remember this restaurant!

We ordered the mixed tapas/appetizer plate and then split the vegetarian fajitas. The appetizer was perfect for us since it had a variety of snacks, none of which I can properly describe but all of which were great. As someone that has been in France for almost a year now, their take on classic fajitas was the closest thing I've had to Mexican/spicy food in a long time. Absolutely delicious! Served hot, with plenty of accompanying sauces (guac, "sour cream," salsa, and shredded (dare I say, cheddar?!) cheese! To top it off, the atmosphere was cozy, full of quaint tomato and pepper themed decorations. If ever again in Chartres, I would most definitely go back!

We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so -- Anton Ego "Ratatouille" A thing most helpers don't understand is that it is not just the food on the plate, but the intent of the restauranteur in creating the space, the ambiance, the drinks to go with the food. In all those ways, plus the food, this place is a winner. Yes they speak English but try the French language, it doesn't bite. This neighborhood pizzeria was filled with the locals, not too many tourists. We loved it for that reason. We enjoyed an almost perfect steak frites and truffle ravioli, just divine on a rainy day after touring the cathedral. The accompanying Chianti was earthy and soulful, perfect match. Service was charming but not forced. Owner enjoyed the fact we loved our meal so much. Bathrooms clean, of course, this is not America ;-) Highly recommended!

We stopped in for lunch, but I would definitely try them for dinner as well. The servers and service was very friendly. If you order a side salad, it comes in a little Mason jar - which I thought was a great touch. I recommend if you order pizza, consider sharing, because portions are huge - although they offer boxes to take the remainder home (which we did gladly). Beer/wine is a good selection and prices were reasonable. They close shortly after lunch, but reopen for dinner in the evening.
