Courte Paille - Chalon-sur-Saône

The small parking lot is shared with the ibis hotel and it is hopeless. had to park in the super market some distance over a busy road, when we were finally shown at our table, it took time to order old. eating was nothing special.

Tired Sunday evening visit found staff friendly with quick and efficient service and good food. It really fitted the bill for what we needed. Food was well cooked and served quickly. Hopeful will revisit when come to the city again.

This restaurant is on a complex of Novotel and Ibis hotels so basically a captive clientele as none of them have restaurants in their buildings. It is frenetically busy and we found that we had to ask 3 or 4 times for our drinks to...be replenished. Ok not the end of the world but as we were on an extended stay on the second visit it got to be a slight irritation. Then we found 3 flies in the lettuce and pointed it out to the waiter. He muttered something and then managed to knock my bottle of cider over the table and my other half. No replacement was offered. At he end of the meal I spoke quietly to a waitress to tell her what had occurred and asked if she would consider a reduction in the bill, which one would normally expect. I was told in no uncertain terms that there was no reduction so we paid up and left. The restaurant behind a hotel just down the road had our custom for the remainder of our stay. It would seem that Court Paille consider that they have no duty of care to their customers as they are mostly transient and not likely to ever go there again

It is the same everywhere but good value for money. If you like meat then this is the place to be :

Le service est efficace, beaucoup de monde en salle donc ça tourne bien.Ce courtepaille correspond au standard du groupe. Pas de mauvaise surprise.Cuisson de la viande parfaitement maitrisée...Difficile parfois quand nous demandons bien cuit.Dommage que le cadeau du menu enfant ait été oublié.
