Le Bistrot des Clercs - Brasserie Valence

When I was in Valence, I found that the food is delicious and the atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming. People were kind to speak English, because my French was poor. There are so many options to choose from. Still, almost every time I ate the butternut soup with roasted chestnuts and an egg (so good). Also, they serve an adorably delightful mocktail--a virgin mojito. Also, the bread is to die for.

The food was amazing, from apps to dessert and all in between. The soup was pureed squash with an egg drop, and I had the fish on bed of mashed potatoes, which was tender and fluffy, respectively. Drinks were high quality and atmosphere, well, French!

Even though I tend to think of my family as an obnoxious kind of folk I had an extremely pleasant dinner experience at this place. The service was immaculate, always making sure my glass of water was full. The food was making me so happy because it was so delicious. Topped it all off with macarons that took me to the French moon. I will probably never be in this city again but I will certainly never forget this memorable, heavenly dinner.

The terrace is gorgeous and the food is pretty good! It's worth having lunch at this bistro 👍🏼

Best place to eat dinner in Valence! The staff was super friendly, the hostess who welcomed us told us all about the restaurant and her family which gave us a very nice feeling. She spoke english as well. We were with a group of 9 people and we didn’t have a reservation but this wasn’t a problem and they prepared a table for us straight away. Honestly the best place to eat authentic french food, only €32 for a three-course menu.

It started superb, with the owner (at least that is what I thought) welcoming us (in English) and explaining the menu and the specials. However, at the moment she left the staff forgot about us and after the starter, which was 10 out of 10, the waiter asked if we would like to see the menu for a dessert 🤨. So, we kindly reminded them that we were waiting for the main course 😄. The main course was fine and again the staff asked us if we wanted dessert. We were ok and asked for the bill, which took forever. In the end an ok place with good food but there is some room for improvement regarding the staff.

Great restaurant. French classic. You come you eat plenty and for two hours but what a great time to spend ! Perfect service

Fantastic place, devine food and warm welcome from the staff! Strongly recommend
