Le Cottage - Uza

Driven by the rave reviews for Le Cottage here on TA we made a reservation for a family dinner. First impressions don't account to much, so here it is. The (outside area of the) venue is breathtaking. The view is superb, the seating fine, you couldn't wish for more. The wine (first to arrive): excellent. The waiters: friendly and helpful. So, it was with great anticipation we awaited the food. Well, this was a dissapointment on every (of four) platters served. The 'slow cooked' duck was stringey and tough. My 'carre of lamb' greasy and looking like it had been badly beaten. The indonesian meat: tough. The rice: dry. The kids meal was a downright insult: chicken nuggets straight out of a supermarket! Terrible. All the dishes where so salty and greasy, as to be classified almost a health risk, especially for our kids. All the dishes had a ungainly heap of fries slapped on the plate and some identical cheapish green stuff, with a dallop of vinaigrette, something you wouldn't expect from a classy venue where starters cost 10+ euro. We could hardly finish our plates, so dissapointed we where. The website looks real classy, but none of that was reflected on the plate. The menu boasts of 'seasonal cooking' but none of that was actually on offer. To top it of, the 'surprise dessert' for the kids turned out to be a Haribo icecream from the local supermarche with the wrapper still in place. An absolute insult for any guest - as it should be for a chef that respects hemself. A no go.

First time we went here was 22 years ago and been back at least 20 times, absolutely so many happy memories with friends and family . Great ambiance , great location , great service and great food. Would recommend if your in the vicinity .

Lovely food in idyllic small village. The restaurant with a large terrace under a tarp with string of lights is situated along a lake. The servants dressed in black are adequate and friendly. We had a main dish and dessert which were all perfect. Lovely local wine and a great ambiance. We had a wonderful evening and recommend this to anyone looking for a nice local meal.
