Courtepaille - Calais

My wife and I have had really enjoyable meals at this chain,first discovering one on the N6 in 1976.We arrived at the restaurant at 5.15pm,for a meal prior to coming home that night.It transpires that only one member of staff was working,who had to take...orders,cook the meats,serve the meals and drinks,and then sort out the bills.We felt really sorry for the waitress,who was trying to do her best.We finally got our meal an hour after after arriving.We chose the most expensive steaks on the menu-my ribeye was OK,but my wife's entrecote was extremely thin and tough.Because of the thinness of the meat it arrived bien cuit rather than saignon.It would probably have taken another hour to get a replacement,and we didn't have the heart to complain.To add insult to injury,they were not accepting credit cards;there was a small sign on the door,which we missed,but we're not informed by the waitress.€85!We shall not bother with Cortepaille restaurants anymore.(No criticism of the waitress,who was doing her best.

We had the entrecôte 250 and the cote de boeuf 400. The entrecôte was inedible, full of sinews and fat. The 400 was ok. Shame, as we were dying for a steak. Will go to Buffalo Grill next time as the meat was better. We...did get 15% knocked off the bill.

I have been to this restaurant over the years on many occasions I have never had a bad meal or bad service.

A sunday night in Calais is not a good start for finding great restaurant. Courtepaille suffers on many levels from Burned Bread for my Pate to a steak

Très bon accueil,deco sympa...de belles assiettes avec une viande excellente et les enfants ravi de leurs cadeau . À refaire
