Grill Courtepaille - Carquefou

I had eaten at this steakhouse chain but not for some years. My memories of it were that the food was reasonable quality and equivalent to something like Beefeater in the UK. The waiting staff were very pleasant and welcoming. We had a choice of table. The starter of roast aubergine was pretty good as was the bruschetta that my wife had. The main course was a different matter. The charcoal grill is on view to the restaurant and it was quite obvious that the hatchet faced person operating the grill was not really making any effort to control the heat. I ordered a steak which I watched being cooked. I ordered the steak rare (saignant) which I like. What arrived as a charred, blackened lump that was barely lukewarm and raw in the middle. Quite an achievement. I sent it back . It came back again exactly the same but a bit hotter. I ate what I could which was not much a s the original piece of meat was very poor quality and I would estimate at least 50% was fat and connective tissue. Chips were dry and uninteresting. My wife ordered chicken. We saw that this was precooked before it went on the grill and so when it arrived it had all the appeals of a piece of balsa wood. Dry, dry, dry. We watched other main courses going out the were similarly charred and blackened. Don't waste your money.

I love this place, staffs are very friendly and helpful and the service is great. Food is very nice and on time. The ladie that look after our table is very professional and friendly. The ladie cooking the food she is also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back on my next trip to nantes.

Friendly staff, prices were OK, not cheap, and food much better then expected, even the fish tasted good.

Nous avons déjeuner dans ce restaurant. Une valeur sûre pour ceux qui apprécient cette enseigne. Rien à dire, cuisson au f

Nous avons adoré le nouveau décor notamment le nouveau mobilier, le carrelage et les revêtement muraux. A découvrir ! Service plutôt rapide pour un samedi soir même si nous avons attendu un bon 1/4 pour avoir nos desserts. Personnel accueillant et sympathique, viande au top comme d'habitude.
