What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Le Grillardin is lauded as a hidden gem with exceptional service and delicious French cuisine, particularly praised for its foie gras and lamb. While some dishes are described as good, others might not be 'wow,' the overall dining experience is elevated by the warm atmosphere and friendly owner, Adrien. Desserts are often highlighted as superb, making it a recommended spot for a delightful meal.
"Le Grillardin is located on a charming little plaza filled with other restaurants, but it stands out on its own. We tried their tapas, which were really tasty and reasonably priced. Three tapas were enough for two people. We especially like grilled abergin, if I remember correctly the French name for egplant. We came at 6:30pm, when most restaurants ate not opened yet, and we were served. Their Langedoc Grenacha was fruty and with an elegant taste. We were served by Adrian, who I think might be the owner. Adrian was very friendly and also he spent time talking to us and explaining the dishes. We did not fill starngers in his restaurant, but rather guests. On top of it, the dishes were reasonably priced. Overall, I can't recommend Le Grillardin enough."

"On a small shady terrasse overlooking an old leafy square I had a tasty charcuterie at noon on a Wednesday. Another night it was roasted duck followed by a grilled cheese salad. Service is very quick and friendly."
