Le Riche - Alès

Super endroit personnel sympa cuisine maison et excellente et bien garnie pour un prix plus que correct je recommande les yeux fermes

Pleasant restaurant decorated with taste very friendly welcome and a delight for taste buds report quality unequalable price

A pity because we had loved to make our canteen as we usually say with friends. but not, apart from the bistro spirit sought in the decor, we did not find the soul, the mind the quality of a bistroquet. in the view and I should have listened to the server this gloubi-bulga of tartare prepared, in fact did he not tell us that he himself did not take it at the resto and that say of the black forest not present in the list a I forgot, avoid the table next to the door because you will have the triple penalty, that of being ventilated to wish, percuted by the go and comes incessant and well on bad eating, despite our reservation is said passing by.

This is the type of traditional restaurant that is harder and harder to find. In a formal but comfortable setting, one is warmly received and served well prepared dishes by a professional staff that it not even remotely stuffy. Sunday dinner (noon to 14:00) is a delight both for the meal and the surroundings.

Renovating an old mas means lots of trips to builders merchants and suchlike and we found ourselves having to come to Ales for one such appointment the other week. We decided to relieve the tedium of discussing floor and wall tiles and sanitaryware by treating ourselves to a rather nice lunch. After a little research, I happened upon Le Riche and was delighted that they had a table available. The dining room itself is of course a really cool space (and very Covid secure) and might alone 'merite le detour ' as the Michelin Guide would say. But actually everything: the efficiency and friendliness of the service and especially the cooking was really top notch. I don 't remember a single wrong note amongst the dishes several of which were really innovative ... but yummy at the same time. We enjoyed a selection of wines by the glass and overall thought we got great value for money. Clearly if you are looking for an inexpensive prix fixe lunchtime menu, this is not the place but if you 're looking for somewhere for a special occasion or a treat, I would highly recommend.
