Brasserie Les Varietes - Saint-Claude

Loved our meal at les varieties! we have tried local specialties and the staff was attentive and helpful. the food was fresh, tasty, served quickly and well sorted portions. good prices too. the employees spoke English and were patient to explain the menus to us.

This busy bistro was on a weekday afternoon with local office workers and folk of all age groups, obviously regular customers, all enjoy the bozz and communication from table to table. informal, friendly and efficient service despite the hurry. we felt at home right away...and each service contact was professional (with an appealing backiness). our salads were just so, but the hot eating on the other tables looked better, and this bistro is obviously about providing a filling lunch in a certain standard with an additional help of charming banter.

When in France, eat what the French eat. Big piece of Foei gras, raw french oyster, lamb chop, duck breast , frozen grandmanier souffle

Black burger was good - fries were a bit dry thoughFois gras was good too but the onion confiture had some weird spices.
