"I would have liked to have given five stars to this restaurant, but both my wife and I were extremely disappointed with the toilet situation.. For an elderly person with a walking stick it is impossible to get down the winding stairs to use the single Old-fashioned toilet provided for both men and women.It was clean-but only had a hand blower no paper towels at all.. Perhaps this doesn't matter to you. As it does to me I have to urge the management to look carefully into modernisation.There are also no facilities for mothers with babies.When we walked in at 7 PM, It felt as if we were going through the back door with a tiny desk inside for the receipt of money. It did not give a particularly welcoming impression as a restaurant. There were 80 places in two separate rooms but it was by no means getting full at that time.. We were given to understand that my wife and I could be fitted in-provided we took no longer than 1 1/2 hours. This was more than adequate and when we left just over an hour later there was still a lot of empty tables.. It was warm, well lit, and had a cosy feel-more like having a meal in someone's front room. Under foot were good strong planks-but I do not think that this restaurant does a busy lunchtime trade with ski booted customers--in spite of being at the foot of the ski lift Super Morzine. One could have an intimate dinner there.As soon as we were seated at the solid brown wood tables, Marion, our cheerful young French waitress arrived to light the large candle on the table and thus the restaurant lived up to its name La Flamme. What is clear is that the restaurant prides itself on home made cooking.. Indeed the first page of the menu is all about the French regulations which have to be met in order to claim that description.. I had to enquire about the phrase that describes the exceptions to the home made Rule and these were "not the funds or the ice" It turned out that "funds" were their description for a sauce base which was not always done with the juice of the Meat.However my wife and myself were not disappointed with the standard of our dishes. I had the lamb shank cooked with garlic and parsley. They had not heard of mint sauce-so I suppose that is peculiarly English. It was a good-sized shank and the meat was succulent and fell off the bone as it should.. I thoroughly enjoyed it with a generous glass of Cote de Bourg.. I asked for a dish of gratin potatoes at the same time as giving my order,, Unfortunately they did not arrive without being prompted.much later.I like the presentation of the vegetables in little dishes which were tilted towards one.. I have not seen these before.My wife was delighted with her chicken Supreme done in a sauce of Creamed local mushrooms.Both of our plates were extremely well presented with clever little touches.. ct to a separate charge.I couldn't understand this but hesitated to ask why-because my wife had left the odd chip on her plate!Perhaps someone should go through the restaurant English on the menu or it could be left because it has certain charm.The restaurant had a good range of beers and cider Wines by the glass and not a particularly lengthy menu , which is a good thing for home-made cooking.They specialised in fancy burgers with salads as well as steaks. Prices were reasonable and I was pleased that they did not bring the bread until the main course arrived. This was made a point of on their menu. Most restaurants bring the bread out,immediately-usually with a few Olives. However in this way the bread was served as fresh as it could be.I can understand the comment about someone being rude. There was a waiter with a cap on who did not stop at all -just to say "I will come back in a minute"But Marion did call by to see if we had enjoyed our food which had been served quickly and was very hot.."

"CHEZ DENISE. C'est notre restaurant préféré à Paris. C'est un bistrot authentique avec une excellente cuisine et une ambiance très conviviale. Les tables sont rapprochées et nous finissons toujours par rencontrer de nouveaux amis et partager notre nourriture. Nous adorons la moutarde sauce Saumon braisé. (le saumon sauce moutarde.) Les portions sont grandes. Nous partageons toujours un apéritif et un plat principal. La nourriture est excellente. Chez Denise, c'est une vraie ambiance familiale. Notre plat préféré est la terrine de poisson. Le lapin et le veau sont également délicieux. Ils sont célèbres pour le cassiolet d'agneau et de haricots blancs, le steak tartare et les croûtons frisés. Ils ont aussi un merveilleux steak de suspension. Notre dessert préféré est l'Isle Floton qui est une grande meringue flottante dans une sauce à la vanille. Les prix sont modérés et le service est sympathique et accueillant. C'est toujours mon meilleur souvenir de gastronomie et de culture de chaque visite à PARIS. Chez Denise est fortement recommandé par Patricia Wells. Nous aimons le vin Brouilly qui est le vin de la maison. Ce vin est de la région du Beaujolais. Ils facturent par la portion de la bouteille que vous buvez. Une bouteille pleine coûte de 24 à 28 euros. -. .Les entrées vont de 12 à 22 euros.C'est une véritable expérience parisienne à ne pas manquer."

"The restaurant is under new ownership and is now called Chez Jean Noel, however the new signs have not been installed.Very warm welcome by the owner and his wife along with advice that all the food is home made and prepared in their kitchen. The restaurant makes traditional and Asian dishes (Vietnamese). Gone are table cloths replaced by plastic coverings and brightly coloured napkins.The menu is hand written along with a number of confusing "Postits". The evening menu consisted of at three course meal, Entre, Main and sweet, for €19, or al la carte.I had the Foire gras, very tasty, but a little too much fat on top for me, also it came with only two very small pieces of toast.My wife had the nems (spring rolls) which she though to be excellent.We both had entrecote as the main, disappointingly it was very thin, and was accompanied only bychips, which were a bit soggy, the plate would have been better with another vegetable or a piece of lettuce or tomato.It did come with a mustard sauce which was flavoufull.The choice of desert was coffee, tarte tan tan or ice cream. We both had the tart tan tan, which was nice but not inspiring.We both had kir as an apero, and at €4 we thought a little expensive for the type of restaurant. Generally wine was about €16 a bottle but we opted for a half carafe of the local Duras wine at €6.50.We were the only customers that evening, so the ambience was not too good, all in all we enjoyed our meal, but thought that for a similar or less cost we could have done better else where. We think it would be better for lunch where there is a €13 menu, two courses and a glass of wine."

"Nous deux (S et moi) flânions dans les rues de cette belle ville et sommes tombés sur ce joyau. La décoration est d'une simplicité rafraîchissante (bien que décorée avec goût pour les fêtes de Pâques qui vont bientôt commencer ici à Colmar). Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par une jeune femme (notre serveur) et nous avons proposé de nous asseoir à peu près là où nous aimions. L'endroit n'est pas immense (peut-être une soixantaine de places assises) et à cette heure de la journée seulement 4 autres clients (14h30). Le menu avait l'air assez complet mais nous avons noté la soupe et avons pensé que nous la commanderions chacun ainsi qu'une tarte flambée à partager. S avons opté pour un Riesling sec et moi sur une bière artisanale locale appelée Sainte Cru (délicieuse bière de blé fleurie). La soupe aux patates douces et à la citronnelle était excellente accompagnée d'un petit pain frais; saveurs parfaitement équilibrées, piquantes et étonnamment abondantes. La Tarte Flambée aux champignons, au lardon (jambon), au fromage et à l'oignon était également la quantité parfaite de nourriture et de boisson. Ce n'est pas de la restauration rapide et frôle le haut de gamme, mais absolument parfait pour ce que nous recherchions. La salle de bain était impeccablement propre ; Huiles de vanille pour désodorisant et serviettes en tissu magnifiques. Maintenant, cela peut paraître étrange que je commente la zone des toilettes, mais dans ces régions, c'est très rafraîchissant ! Si vous recherchez un déjeuner élégant et abordable composé de plats parfaitement préparés, d'un cadre magnifique et d'un service exceptionnel, je recommande vivement Les Toques !"
