La Gourmandise - Nelson

Lovely staff great drinks and starters, we had the baked Camembert French onion soup. We got the ribeye with scalloped potato which was good just didn’t enjoy the bean/tomato part on the side, I had courgettes with crumbled goat feta hazelnuts with salad but found the courgettes bland and the nuts and cheese crumble made it dry and bland. Lovely salad though.

Don’t do the coffee. Decent prices though, good vibe with friendly staff in a cute area, no vegan options but good for vegetarians.

Great restaurant with delicious French food. Perfect if you want a taste of France or, like me, miss the cuisine of your country. The crepes were amazing, and the atmosphere is spot-on, feels just like a proper French café. Un délice !

Best meal in a week of eating out in Nelson. Taste, presentation, size, all were excellent. Highly recommended for those who enjoy French flavours.

My husband and I were visiting Nelson. Arriving late on Friday afternoon we did not have a booking but popped into ask about a table for dinner. The waitress behind the counter asked if we had a booking and when we replied no were informed, rudely, that they were fully booked so I can't comment on the quality of the food, but I certainly can about their service. While the food may not be free, the appalling customer service and arrogance are.
