123 - Lagord

This restaurant is part of Hotel du Chateau. The hotel and its friendly staff itself is fine and by all means stay there but the restaurant leaves much to be desired. The starter of Foie Gras was OK but this does not require any cookery skills. The main course of Steak fries was very poor indeed. Steak very tough and was served practically well done and not at all A point as requested. Fries too soft and almost blackened. Indifferent service. Cannot recommend.

Whilst staying at the Château we decided to try their own restaurant ... ‘123’ ... What a mistake! We were politely greeted and shown to our table. We ordered our drinks, starters and mains. The drinks came quickly enough but the starter, Fois Gras, took forever. And let’s face it, Fois Gras doesn’t take any preparation time. And why was it that 4 other tables who all arrived well after us were all served well before us? One of these 4 tables even had their starters, mains AND finished their deserts while we were still waiting for our mains! It really annoys me when restaurants take the **** like that, so we just got up and walked out. Maybe this chef or the waitress doesn’t like the English or perhaps its because of Brexit? Who knows? But whatever the reason there is simply no excuse for such blatant ignorance! Disgraceful.

Uncomfortable seats and limited menu. What we had was well cooked and tasty. Wine list is limited but pleasant.

Stayed in the hotel so eating in the restaurant was an obvious choice. Sadly the food was fairly average.....chewy meat being the biggest complaint. The staff were fabulous....the dining room was fabulous.....the food was average

Food was great value at 29e and beautifully presented. Top marks to the waiter who provided us with great service. No surprises with the wine list either. Would be happy to return again.
