Hostellerie de Saint Front

What can anyone say about this high quality restaurant ? I have traveled extensively in Europe and the US and this is one of those rare places that provide traditional French regional cooking to a very high standard with a small but excellent selection of local and regional French wines. Of course you could go to many places nearby , in the more up market Bastille towns but for my money this is the best value place. I have come on many occasions both for lunch and dinner and the whatever the occasion it does not disappoint. The service is quick and efficient by the hostess , Sophie .

We were passing through Beaumont last Sunday and stopped here on the off chance at 1.15pm to ask if it were still possible to get a simple one-dish lunch without the full 3/4 course meal, as we still had a good drive to get where we were going that afternoon.

On the strength of the previous reviews we booked an evening dinner here for four of us but our experience didn't match those of others.We weren't able to use the terrace owing to a business meeting that was taking place but in all fairness this was explained when we first booked our meal. The €20 menu was good value and the wine list, although not having a great choice was also reasonably priced.Our main veal dish was a little disappointing as it was quite fatty which made look rather unappetising.The service was friendly and helpful and the dining room had the tables well spaced.In spite of our misgivings I feel it has the potential to do better and would give it another chance.

The place looked good, the menu interesting. Result: all ok if you are in very much less than a hurry and not very hungry. The service is slovenly and not smiling at all I did worry about her untidy hair falling in the soup.... The food is well cooked but lacks sparks and a smidgen of green vegetable or even decorative lettuce might have cheered it up.the place feels sad and it is not helped by what appears to be an obituary notice on one of the walls, sad for the owner but intrusive for the client.

Each year I make a point of returning to this restaurant . It has a great chief and very reasonable wines. The quality and price are very appropriate. So if you want some really good food , beautifully cooked and presented . This is the place.
