L'Aile ou la Cuisse

I believe this was the most friendly and genuinely positive serving staff I have encountered in years. The food was excellent, but made all the better by the warm reception. What a pleasurable evening for us and for every table around us, whether French or English speaking.

Two of us shared the roast lamb and a Caesar salade on Thursday. Oct. 17, 2024. We ordered two aperitifs to start and passed on immediately ordering. Too soon the waiter was back to take our order. After asking him to return when we finished our aperitifs, he stated he would just take the order and hold it until we were ready. Well foolish us, first he brought the rather expensive wine out before we finished our aperitifs, to taste. From there the food descended upon us in a rather hurried fashion. This took much of the enjoyment from the very finely prepared meal. I think the kitchen and management should know how the waitstaff rushing the diners undermines the dining experience! Perhaps they were more concerned with missing their bedtime! No usual extra gratuity was given for above average service, it was barely average. My fault for not calling a halt to the rush job. And in France, of all countries!

Had the set lunch menu. Delicious! Started with the most unique Caesar salad then the rabbit stew and finished with a decadent chocolate tart. Hubby is vegetarian and loved his gazpacho soup and gyoza. They were both very flavorful and the presentation was wonderful. Our waiter and all the staff were extremely nice. Beautiful dinning room. Highly recommend this gem!

I live in St Remy and this relatively new restaurant is a real find in a town where tourist pressure can sometimes lower standards. Equally good to eat in the stylish interior or on the excellent terrace. A negative shout out to "The Fork" who sent me a negative email for being a no-show even though I and my guests arrived precisely on time.

Based on a friend’s recommendation we made reservations for lunch at L'Aile ou la Cuisse. We were quickly impressed with the speed of service and the waitstaff’s attentiveness. But, the food was the highlight of the meals we have eaten over past 4 weeks in France. We ordered tuna steak on a bed of rice with vegetables and beef steak with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Both delicious. The baba rum cake for dessert was out of this world!
