Chez Max - Cornillon Sur L Oule

Meager selection of high-quality products on the overpriced buffet. Mousse au Chocolat a powdery globe can give you better quality items in a local food. A real shame, because it is in an otherwise beautiful location. A real tourist trap.

This was my second visit to La Guinguette and coincided with a Sunday, which is the only lunch time that they did the buffet I had heard so wonderful things about. For a steamy hot French summer day it was the perfect lunch. The 18-Euro price includes a buffet with ducks and desserts. Think about your ideal picnic and then some. All dishes were homemade and made from local ingredients and presented so beautifully. Nice and fresh and tasteful. The “street” were quiches of different varieties, cakes, omelet, cold meat, cheese, a beautiful selection of beautiful and different salads (including potatoes, couscous, rice, lentils all with many supplements to make them really delicious) and wonderful dips in votive glasses (aubergine, peas, cream cheese and salmon) and freshly baked (and still hot) We enjoyed the wonderful casual environment so typical for Guingettes, but they also have an eye for style with some modern touches of potted cactus on the table, botanical fabric deckchairs and a separate section for relaxing with a drink with outdoor sofas. It was such a refreshing change from the normal menu fix with limited options and formal 3 course structure and the beautiful staff were very attentive. Once our visits to the Entrees had stopped... it was time for desserts and they are all done in the smallest portions, so it is a great excuse to try everything you want without overwhelming. Again all house prepared and a sweet tooth itself, I consider myself a little connoisseur and they were fabulous. For those without the sweet tooth there were also cheese and fruit. Something for everyone and highly recommended!

A very popular local restaurant, a gem hidden away in the beautiful village of Cornillon. Don't be put off by buffet, it allows you to choose a bit of everything! We were a party of 13 and not quite sure how things worked, but we...soon worked it out and thoroughly enjoyed. The main meal was fantastic. Atmosphere is great we were lucky to have a live musician. As the sun goes down, the colourful lights come one. Playground nearby, and so relaxed children can go off to play, while adults talk. Make sure you book.

This is a lovely restaurant in which to spend a leisurely evening enjoying your meal. The starters and deserts are buffet style with a choice of 7-8 delicious main meals. As I said, if this restaurant is busy, do not expect a quick meal. Sit...back, serve yourself your starter and enjoy the atmosphere and the food.

The food and service were both great The pizza was especially good as the cook was from Italy and adhered to their norms.
