Les Relais d’Alsace - Cergy

We visited the 24th of July in the evening and we thought the waiter was stressful. The food were not as good quality according to a pretty high price. We were not satisfied at all. Our second day we went to La Marina and everything was better and a lower price and friendly waitress.

Pub and restaurant in one place, on the port nearby. We watched the football match and ate big steak. The steak it was fine and tasty.

Formerly this place was the Relais d'Alsace. Now renovated and a very different style.A lounge bar as well as brasserie style pub it has huge menu which can mean something for everyone but also that not everything is perfect. Way too many huge TV screens showing sport make this a bit sports bar like and less a restaurant. I find TVs annoying in restaurants.Service was good when we dined there, prompt friendly and courteous.We had flammenkuch as one starter to share which was very good. We also ordered Moules mariniere as another starter but these were not so good....probably cooked too long many shells were empty and they the entire dish lacked flavour - best avoided. The burgers were good and very large, too much but that was our fault! The French fries....not so good, too soft and soggy - need a better choice of potato and hotter oil to cook them in. Another main was the fillet of sea bass which our friend said was excellent.All up - mixed review, value was Ok and the atmosphere quite good.Would return for beers and burgers but go elsewhere for a meal out.

We went here during our stay in Cergy. The food was decent- we had pizza and a cheese plate and desserts. The server was a bit standoffish, but I related this to the fact we spoke minimal French and while he spoke English I'm not quite sure he felt comfortable with it. My biggest complaint is that we specifically asked for tap water (As most French restaurants want to peg you with the bottled water bill) and despite saying it twice, we were brought the bottled water. All the french speaking people around us all had the tap water bottles. I'm not entirely sure if we were just ignored on this fact, or completely misunderstood - however his English seemed perfectly fine to get across what we were trying to say. We didn't argue after realizing our water was different than everyone else, and didn't argue the cost of course it added to the bill, but still were displeased by the seeming duplicity. This is the only restaurant in France where we felt being English speakers put us at a disadvantage.

Business meal. Good service, venue is very spacious so good for large parties. Good menu with typical Alsatian food. Mussels (OK not very Alsatian)
