Les Embruns - Bénodet

In contrast to some other reviews, we found the welcome and table allocation point. The food was good without being special, but the place was pretty crowded and the servers seemed under pressure. We had no hurry and had a perfect cozy lunch. Prices... were for a tourist site.

To start with the food we ordered was pretty good, we had 2x kids Bolognese, a pizza and steak. The steak was pretty tough but the set price deal meant we didn 't pay over the top. The service however was awful! The kids meals came...out after we 'd finished our mains because the kitchen had made a mistake . At the end I even got asked if I 'd leave a tip! Good place but they need to employ more people and not overstretch themselves.

We arrived at the restaurant during rainy evening with our dog, wanting to eat something. Although the restaurant had many available tables, also secluded and in the veranda, they didn't want us there because of the dog, refusing our proposal to stay in one of...the tables in the corner. If you have a dog, don't go there, for them it's a problem!

We've been eating sporadic here for 20 years. Recently, when things opened to Covid in the United Kingdom, but in France it was somewhat longer open. We weren't sure if you were on pre-book so we were in a lunch time to try to book a table. The lady owner, who is really beautiful, took our booking, for the terrace, and when we arrived, she had given us the best table in the house (in our opinion) with a beautiful view of the sea. The food was good, the value very good and the service excellent. So much that we booked later in the week for our last meal. In the second night we decided to eat the 3 courses from the set menu, and if we asked the lady if we could wait a while between the main course and the dessert, she would no longer have accomodating, so much we ordered more wine!. Our favorite restaurant in Benodet by far.

On arrival table for two table were given next to toilet. Moved to the window seat, the four chairs had not given owners possibility to move. At the beginning, the service was very good, but when the restaurant became more busy, basically... was forgotten. Several requests for food. On arrival the food was fresh and well presented. The service was bad by inexperienced youth workers. Apparently being a family-run restaurant, if the service were good, would guarantee 5 stars.
