Le Grenier - Morillon

Great friendly staff and in nice homely environment! Loved the food and great wine! Have been here a few times and love to come back

It was our first night in Morillion and we were looking for a restaurant for dinner. Most were booked for the evening and we happened upon Le Grenier and discovered they could accommodate us three for dinner. We ordered 6 escargot to start my husband ordered the Tartiflette. I orded the Tartichevre and as they were out of souris d'agneau, my son ordered the hamburger. To start with the escargot arrived all six of them on a tray designed for 12 they looked embarassed to be there. To put it mildly they were not the best. I would liken the experience of eating them to chewing on an eraser. I dont believe you should ever cook escargot in a microwave. This was just the beginning of the horrors to come. The Tartiflette ..... melted cheese on a bed of evenly diced potatoes a bowl of assorted lettuce leaves to the side. The dressing largely an afterthought. The Tartichevre ....less melted cheese on diced potatoes with 5 or 6 slices of supermarket goat cheese not attractively cut and not tasty accompanied by similarly dismal salad. The Hamburger looked like the ones you can buy in the supermarket frozen bun and all ...was accompanied by hastily microwaved French fries. The fact that we ate this food had more to do with our level of hunger rather than our delight at the chefs culinary skills. Needless to say we passed on dessert paid what we thought was an exorbitant amount for the meals and left largely disappointed.

Location, decor and menu all have potential for a wonderful experience. However, despite the welcome the meal was average and the room cold. It would appear one table had been gone before we arrived at 8pm. The only other diners had a relatively quick meal leaving our table of 4 the solitary diners. It was our most expensive meal during our 5 day stay in Morillon. The saving grace was an excellent and good value bottle of Bordeaux.

Good location, friendly staff, interesting decoration and that's where it stops. Very average food that I'm guessing was pre prepared before and then heated up. A real pity as the hosts were very friendly but I feel they have probably lost the love for the food they are serving.

We didn't have time to taste this famous kitchen, after 30 minutes waiting for drinks or...More
