Bistro Regent - Talence

Lunched as part of a rather large but pre-booked group, choosing from the standard menu (five meat choices). Things went pretty slowly and my escalope of salmon was dried up. Huge helping of chips and a lot of basic salad on the side. Not good but not exactly bad either.Not a place to be a vegetarian: the offer was a slice of cheese and a slab of butter)!( instead of the meat.

You find this restaurant everywhere in France. It's a nice place with good service. However the food isn't good at all. First of all there is not a lot of choice and the menu never changes. You get to chose either fish, beef or duck. And the beef is often served on the same platter as the duck, so they mix up. Their famous sauce is actually not nice and quite off and very oily The upside is that you get a full big bowl of fries and salad

The beef tartar was good. The duck magret was average. the side dishes were very simple but OK (chips and the Regent's special sauce). Good enough for a simple dinner with friends or family.

Had dinner here, the restaurent doesn't take reservations on Saturday nights, so we got there just after 20h15. The place was just filling up. We were taken to our table without waiting. The menu is quite simple, you can order a cooked meat beef or duck, salmon is also available. with this you get unlimited amount of home made chips and green salade.The food was perfect. Washed down with a glass of Bordeaux. a coffee then the bill which was very reasonable for three. and we were on our way by 21h30, by then the place was full. Staff are great. had a wonderful time and we will be back. Well done.
