Le Gil - Menu

lovely area to sit and people watch, relieved to get menu in English and waiter only too delighted to recommend food and wine, Will be back there again.

Stopped for an evening meal. Had the entrecote steak with blue cheese sauce. Meal was lovely. The blue cheese sauce was to die for. A walk around the area was really nice. Would visit again.

Food was excellent for our family of 4 and the burger was the best I've ever had in france. Price was very reasonable, presentation was good and location is great. Very slow with the drinks but this is not exceptional in France.

After the shock of being accosted whilst reading the menu out side by the manager we enjoyed the lunch menu today. The Brittany fish soup was excellent and our three different main dishes bought sounds of delight and satisfaction from us all.

We found the place just walking around the city centre and no regret.The weather was great so we took advantage of the tables outside in the terrace for the dinner, and enjoy the views to the main plaza.I asked the waiter for a recommendation and had a rissotto with prawns and a kind of mushrooms sauce and salad as side.Sweety and tasty rosé to drink and we wanted to try the french tortitas for the dessert which did our night! A small treasure for food lovers.Cannot wait to be back and try another choice :)

Pleasantly situated just behind the cathedral, this bar restaurant has a great position, plenty of covered seating and a decent menu.Service was fine.I had lamb cutlets which were a little fatty and pretty tasteless; my wife had 'fish and chips (okay.) Followed by a strawberry Tiramisu (good) and a Café Gourmand (too much chocolate sauce).50cl of wine was almost 14 euros, so not cheap within an overall bill of 54 euros. No water or water offered (though some tables seemed to get some.) Really pretty ordinary.

This restaurant is well placed and opposite the antiques market on the street - so we ended up with a couple of French bargains too! The menu is typical French bistro/brasserie - steaks, salmon, etc. Reasonable mix and if you persevere the staff will inter-change items should you need them to do so for diet reasons etc. Very French in attitude and lots of locals eating there who, on this occasion, weren't very good at keeping their young children in check!Would revisit but probably only for lunch and not dinner.

The Bistrot Le Gil has a perfect location at Place Charles De Gaulle. The square is the natural meeting point for the city´s youth and students with restaurants and bars. Le Gil is one of those and the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived. The waiter found us a table outside the restaurant facing the square. Inside the restaurant there was live music and it was quite good. Our waiter was a young guy who worked hard and was really friendly - and even fluent English speaking. We ordered some foie gras as a starter and followed by onglet de boeuf and cotes de agneau au grill. The food and our Cotes de Rhone was really nice. We ended the meal with a tarte fine aux pomme and some cognac. All...

After walking round Poitiers for at least an hour we settled on this restaurant in a square. 15 minute wait to order wine. A carafe was a little too much for the waiter to comprehend so a little pointing later we ordered our drinks. A few minutes later the lady in charge took our order with a smile. After a 25 minute wait, no wine. A little prompt and it came in another five minutes. Our food arrived - a tuna steak with a strange grilled jacket potato and tiny salad, and a medium rare steak which was blackened in only the way the french think you English might want your medium rare steak and chunky chips which looking at everyone else's were the dregs reserved for us. The tuna was good, and...
