La Pause Gourmande - Auxerre

Very poor hospitality! This restaurant is for the French only! Tourists are treated very very badly! On arrival, we had booked, we were seated in a front corner of the restaurant where there was an extremely noisy fridge and where, as we discovered later, they allow dogs. All other guests were seated in the main area of the restaurant. The question for management is not why did we not ask to be moved, but why they chose us to sit where they did!! Food, my wife was served a small fillet of bass that was about 3mm thick, overcooked on a bed of sliced vegetables with no dressing or flavour. I had a fillet of ling, what was so overcooked that it just broke when I went to cut it. And it stank like stock fish! I had to return it!!! The question for management is again why were we served such disgusting food???? It came out of their kitchen! Unfortunately I can’t seem to upload pictures! Anyway, for those of us who have travelled France have experienced this very sad side of some French people. They are probably poorly educated and just want to show us how much smarter they are than us… “these tourists will eat any rubbish we give them, and they’ll say it’s wonderful!”

The four of us different starter and main courses, all good. Nothing was left. House wine and beer was very good. Cost was fair. Would return if I get back to Auxerre

Excellent! seldom had the opportunity to eat so cheap! impeccable service as the reception the dishes are as good as they are appetizing. a lot of research in the presentation and mix of delicate tastes. I'll go back there without hesitation!

We are accustomed to the gourmet break and returned there this summer during our stay in the yonne: we love to be surprised by the ideas of the chef always renewed to sharpen the curiosity of the customers to new flavors, new presentations, and the aromas of his garden. It's always our restaurant #1 and pastry shops are simply exquisite. here: no waste, there's not a miette in these delicate plates. The atmosphere is also welcoming, which does not ruin anything. short a must for who stays to austere. Reservation of rigor. Enjoy!

A great culinary experience: very fresh products with the open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. The lunch menu (25 euros for 3 courses) is fantastic. Always full, so it is necessary to make a reservation.
