Très bon sait un resto traditionnel

Excellent !

It’s a stifling hot evening it was when I arrived and not a breath of a breeze. Le Pistou, in homage to the usual French tradition of seeming to be closed more days than they are open, serve dinner generously from to pm on Saturdays! But at least they had a table for me, so I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth... Excellent range of local wines by the glass, including top estates. They are busy, hence I saw my St.Jacques sitting under the lamp on the pass for some time, so they arrived a bit overcooked. The thousand island glaze on the serving slate was a somewhat retro and was a bit but the quality was still quite good. I’ll see what the entrecôte steak is like. I asked for it ‘blue’. Let’s see. As you can tell, I can be a bit of a customer from hell for the complacent French, but tonight I am in a relaxed mood. And the staff are very pleasant. They even smile. French restauranteurs take note! Given that many local restaurants struggle to open at any sensible time and are reluctant to even offer you a table, I really love this place it is probably rather than but I think I’m happy to stick it at four stars. It would be laughed out of court in Chelsea or Knightsbridge or Fulham but this is arrogant, complacent, provincial France and they have a lot to learn yet. But compared to some deals I’ve had in France this is actually quite good. Every time I speak to chefs or entrepreneurs in France, I invite to come to London to see what a real vibrant restaurant scene is like COVID being an exception at the moment, clearly., G Date of visit: August

très correct.
