L'Atmosphere - Saint-Germain-du-Puch

We were so glad to discover this restaurant and the bar as there were very few places open that we could find in september. fortunately, it served for this part france to average trips. with locals that usually means good eating....Very little English speaking, but with a broken French words we have the meals we thought we had ordered!

On the way back from somewhere. do not know where as it was my Partners idea to go shopping we passed L'Atmosphere restaurant. It looked inviting, even if the road runs alongside the restaurant, so we decided to turn around and give it...a visit. Parking is easy either at the shops next door or at the Mairie across the road. The restaurant has either dining inside with air conditioning or outside on the terrace under large sun umbrellas The menu is of a reasonable size with choices of meat or fish or salads. The wine list is leather bound and is extensive. well this is Bordeaux country with prices ranging from 17 euro -1000 euro per bottle. Wine is also available by the glass. We were quickly shown to a table and we ordered a beer and glass of rose wine whilst we scanned the menus. We skipped the starters and went straight for a main course of grilled steak with fries. The steaks were of a good size cooked as required. Chips came in a little basket and were as french chips should be , thin , crisp and cooked to a golden colour. A bottle of red Bordeaux at 18 euros was a good accompaniment to the meal. We were recommended 2 special desserts by our pleasant waiter not sure if he was on commission but he sold a lot of them . The Assiette de L'Atmosphere which was a long thin dish approx 40cm long containing different flavoured ice creams decorated with various fresh fruits. My dessert was small examples of the various desserts available surrounding a cup of coffee. Although pricey at 12 euro it was an experience. Both desserts are available to share. I did not observe a children's menu. On the down side the restaurant is next to the main road through the village and sometimes was noisy, also this restaurant appears to be following most U.K restaurants and using paper napkins. Please French resteraunters do not follow the U.K. trend for paper napkins , linen napkins add a touch of class and at 88 euro I did expect this. Would I return ? Yes I would but I would ask if linen napkins were available

Nice place, good service. Almost all service team speak and understand English. Excellent meals our choice was pasta carbonara and foie gras salad. Our dessert, profitrole , was also great. We did not like the home red wine

The restaurant has a great atmosphere! The food was very good. My frog was so cool! Service is excellant. Incredible choice of meets and wines! I would like to return.

Back on holiday, we make a stop at this restaurant café that seemed very pleasant. but, the addition for 2 coffees and 1 grenadine with tap water. 6,50€.
