Restaurant Le Bistro Montebello

We had an installation nearby for about 2.5 months and stopped by regularly. We were never turned away, and the service and food were consistently great! The wood-fired pizzas are always a delicious option, with a great selection to choose from. Highly recommended!

I had the lamb, but the sides just didn't work with it. My friend had the steak and fries and felt the same about the sauce on the steak. Everything else about the restaurant is great, but the food was not the best.

nous sommes arrêté pour diner le 28 mai, 2025, et ce fût un dîner EXCELLENT pour nous 4.

Great pub atmosphere with a wide menu selection. Make sure to reserve ahead of time, it is deceivingly busy.

We were in Montebello Sunday to Tuesday. After visiting the Christmas Market on its last day December 8th. My friend /colleague and I walked through the town and decided we would have late lunch early dinner at Le Bistro Montebello. They closed between 15h00 and 16h00, no problem. We came back and saw people inside at 15h45. They mentioned the kitchen was closed and we made reservations at 16h00.
My friend who has back problems asked if she could sit and wait inside for 15 minutes. There would be no issue if they had said no its not possible. However the 20 something young lady was rude, impolite and angrily said NO. She could have been more polite and said its unfortunately not possible due to manager policy. Then realised her rudeness and said you can wait between the doors.
Before we were even seated at our table, we were told to hurry up with our mean that we had the table from 1600 to 18h00. In an empty restaurant, we were place at a table with crying children. Asked to move the reply was again no.
We were not given any menus or wine menu and the 20 something unsmiling waitress asked as if we wanted something to drink. I said , We would love to however we have no menu to choose drinks from?
Another 20 something waitress brought water. I asked for water with no ice at room temperature. Instead of going to get water at room temperature, she simply moved the ice and poured ice cold water in my glass.
We finally get a menu and we both decided on French Onion Soup and share some fries.
French Onion soup takes some time to prepare, however it was ready in 15 minutes. Which we found odd.
We were served the soup, no bread and the fries came. Have way through our soup two glasses of red wine arrived already poured.
It should have been served before our food order.
There was a strange bar stool next to our table ,which was used for the bread.
The soup was not piping hot but warm and relatively good , not exceptional.
As we shared the fry , I noticed blond hair in our fries and one that was already in my mouth
We told the server that there was hair in the fries.
He reply was ... oh okay.. sorry! She did not care!
She asked us if we wanted the desert menu and I said well not after there was hair in my food .
She brought us the bill after less than 45 minutes at the table for our meal. Clearly we were wanted out as soon as possible.
She did not comp the inedible fries, did not offer an apology.
She did not ask how are meal was, did not ask if we wanted a refill of water, wine, coffee.
It is a very adorable little place and could be a fantastic local favourite.
However the 5 generation Z that engaged with us from start to finish need some training in hospitality, empathy, service, language, body language.
I understand it is hard to get good, experienced and passionate staff who understand good service. I sympathise with the owner.
For the remainder of our stay , I never ventured out to eat in any of the restaurants for fear of poor service and bad food again

Don’t expect anything special. The food was edible but nothing to enjoy. It was like a trip to gastronomy 30 years ago. Onion soup was pretty good, snails were probably the worst I have ever had, bison steak was well done (ordered medium rare), they put blue cheese on it 😂 and many other side dishes, so final taste was totally unidentifiable (like 30 years ago or like in USA), salmon was totally disgusting and well done. There is supermarket nearby, so I recommend you to save money and buy there a bread and cheese, it will be definitely better choice.

Always full with reason, superb atmosphere, a varied and sought-after menu in a vibrant heritage village. The wood-fired pizzas are delicious and pan-fried foie gras is divine, the rest of the menu is just as excellent. Book in advance after an activity in the area for a fun filled day.

Except this evening I had it delivered
the meatball was dry, the salad was really not good and we forgot the side sauce that I asked for and paid for
