L'Escale - Carte

This must have been one of my longest lunches (2.5 hours for three courses). Service was chaotic, our five main courses did not arrive at the same time (and it seemed to be the same for all the tables on that day). Maybe a problem in the kitchen. Some dishes were interesting (tartare of St-Jacques and St-Pierre) but size of the portions was a bit small. Nice setting in main city courtyard. Again maybe a bad day but I would not recommend it.

Le village de Montréal dans le Gers est un bon endroit à visiter et L'Escale se trouve en plein sur la place centrale. Le restaurant est bien connu, donc si c'est un jour férié, il faut réserver. Lors de notre visite, nous avons eu le cassoulet au canard, saucisses et haricots blancs... incroyable, accompagné d'un demi pichet de vin rouge gasconnais local. Le service est bon et attentionné ; un très bon restaurant si vous êtes dans cette partie du monde.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés ici pour nous reposer après avoir exploré le charmant village de Montréal du Gers. Quelle agréable découverte. La terrasse extérieure offre une vue sur l'activité du village au premier plan. La cuisine était bien faite et délicieuse. Le service était attentionné et amical malgré notre maladresse en français. Nous nous sommes détendus sous le chaud soleil gascon. Quand ils en ont l'occasion, ils s'arrêtent ici pour admirer une ville magnifiquement préservée qui semble figée dans le temps. Voir le carte

Out sightseeing, we found ourselves in Montreal at lunch time. According to Yelp, it was the only restaurant open in town. We got the last 2 seats available, as they had a huge group sitting outdoors, using up all the tables. In general, it didn't look that inviting, and we probably should have driven to another town but by noon things start to fill up and we were not familiar with the area. As expected the inside service got a bit slow with the huge group outside. I had chicken brochettes, and my husband had fish, grilled Dorade which was fine. Just basic fare.

Je n'arrive pas à croire à quel point c'était mauvais de manger là-bas. Nous avons tous commandé du lammage. Il est arrivé dans un bol avec des frites. Pas de goût sucré et avait l'air si terne. C'était clairement réchauffé au micro-ondes. Pour le prix en euros, choquant ! Et pour finir, nous avons commandé un café gourmand à euros. Il était constitué de petites babioles toutes achetées. Pas du tout de cuisine maison ici. La crème brûlée semblait avoir été faite auparavant. Avec le vin inclus, l'addition est montée à euros. Ce n'est pas donné et tellement décevant ! Je dois ajouter que nous n'y retournerons pas.

A nice location on the main square with a picturesque terrace. The place was busy when we arrived but even allowing for this the service was too slow. Menu du Jour euro.14.50 for 3 courses. Chicken Supreme with boiled potatoes euro.18 Lamb euro.22 We did not have a starter and waited about one hour for our main course to arrive. So presumably cooked from scratch but still a long time to wait...quite good but not superb. The carafe white wine was disappointing, quite acidic. Coffee on the house. At least during the main tourist season they should consider hiring one more person to serve and one more in the kitchen. So overall, nearly there but not quite. Voir le carte

I shared my birthday lunch with very special friends over on holiday from Australia.Three of us had the menu du jour which was 14.50 euros. Three courses of absolutely delicious food, especially the main course which was slow cooked lamb with caramelised oranges and prunes, absolutely to die for and the best dish I have had this year.We ate outside under the cloistered arches which was cool despite the searing heat outside.Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We have had family celebrations and many dinners and lunches in the three years we have been spending summers in the Gers.The service was excellent and the wait staff very helpful, nothing too much trouble.

Came here for a celebration lunch after a house sale since we had a cracking meal here over a year ago . Alarm bells should have rung since the place was empty at 12-45!!!Chose the cheapest lunchtime menu (24euros) ... a ridiculous price for lunch in France but pushing the boat out we expected good food and service . There was no choice .. the wines were expensive ( house wine advertised on a tiny board inside ) . The gesier salad smelled very strong and off as soon as it arrived . A piece of "foi gras " on limp " toast " perched in the middle of a lettuce leaf .We were hungry and each ate at least half the offering despite our better judgement . The main course of confit with mash potato an...

My wife and I visited the L'Escale twice on the same day. It was a mid July Saturday and we had tickets to the cirque du soleil show. Before the show we had a beer at L'Escale. We both had a draft beer. My beer was fine - I ordered a blond. My wife's beer however was flat , not cold enough and tasted watered down- she ordered a red draft. We complained to the waitress, who was very nice and understanding. The waitress replaced the beer, but the replacement was not much better! After the cirque du soleil show, we returned to have a meal. My wife asked for another draft, this time the waitress told her that they were having problems with some of their drafts and they had a limited selection av... Voir le carte
