Restaurant La Belle idée

Excellent restaurant.. the food was amazing, specially the appetizers, and don’t forget to have Chartreuse ice cream at the end

This was my first time here and I would DEFINITELY come back here again! The menu has a variety to choose from and is moderately priced. We started out with a red wine and the Belle Idee cocktail. Both were very good. The marinated octopus was simply delicious! I never would have guessed what was in this but the flavors were so well placed. It almost tasted like an Italian Caprise but had strawberries in it. The duck breast was boneless and was the best I’ve EVER had. Very hearty and a good-sized portion. The sauce has rosemary and is very savory tasting. The side dish of grated potatoes were VERY creamy but could have used some seasoning. We added salt and pepper to them and they were fine. The Entrecôte steak has minimal fat on it but was well cooked and very flavorful. The homemade fries were seasoned well a good portion. I ordered a chocolate soufflé was very hot but delicious and fluffy. I highly recommend it. The only reason I gave 4 stars for service is because they were so busy we had to wait for our server a few times. The food was well prepared and very tasty. Claude was our server and was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great service! Definitely worth a visit here if you’re in town!

This place has a real buzz and is obviously popular with locals as well as visitors. Great food and friendly service.

The restaurant itself is cozy and charming, but unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. During our visit, there were two incidents: a glass was broken behind the bar, which can happen, but then a cocktail was dropped right in front of our table, which was a bit frustrating. The waitress was very patient, especially since we were a group of four and only one of us spoke French, so he had to translate our orders. However, one fork was missing, and my friend had to wait about 10 minutes to get one, by which time his food had already gone cold. I also asked for a water refill, and while they said yes, it never arrived. On the positive side, the food was really good. I ordered the duck with mushroom sauce, and the sauce was fantastic. However, they didn’t mention that the sauce wasn’t included in the price—it was an extra €6, which was a surprise. For dessert, I had a layered ice cream (I can’t remember the name), and it was a lovely mix of fruit and ice cream with a great texture. Remember to reserve beforehand(online is also available)

Delicious food and lovely waiter. The service is very good. The only pity is that half of the skin of the duck breast was burnt and tasted bitter. Everything is good. The sauce, Pocini and duck meat are quite delicious.

Wonderful experience and delicious French cuisine! Our waitress was extremely helpful in trying to translate our English to French and vice versa as we navigated the menus and trying to understand the French words! We loved our selections and was extremely satisfied with what we ate! Would definitely recommend visiting but would recommend reservations after 7pm due to such a hot spot to sweat at. We got lucky when we did to get a table without them but wouldn't recommend.

Excellent service and delicious, authentic French food

We ordered a ravioli dish, a burger, a portion of fries, a charcuterie and cheese board, cocktails and wine. The food was good although we ordered a well done burger that came medium… I personally don’t like blue cheese, but they were kind enough to change with another kind. The only downside is the slow service but overall it was a good dinner.
