L'Authentique Restaurant - Meaux

We have eaten all over France and Belgium so when we saw the fantastic reviews, we had high hopes for another amazing French meal. Instead, both dishes were just good. But not excellent or amazing. Unfortunately we left disappointed.

My girlfriend and I happened upon this place by chance and could not have been happier that we had. The charming waitress was more than accommodating with a couple of Scots with really broken French. We got the lunch deal which was 13 euros for two courses. The starters were beautifully presented, and I mean actual works of art, my girlfriend had a a baked mini brie on toasted brioche with a honey drizzle and endive (although this description does in no way do it justice and I had a smoked beetroot compote with stripped cucumber, both were delicious, charming subtle flavours and so light and sumptuous. For mains we had a rump steak with hand cut chips with some kind of spicy tomato sauce and I had a curried turkey breast with the most gorgeous risotto........ It was all amazing. The service was excellent, the wine delicious and the food was stunning!!!! Five stars : x

Prompt service, reasonable prices, tasty food. Very good location in the city center. Recommended!

The food is as described in the name of the restaurant authentic and delicious. We had rabbit in mustard sauce and veal with pasta and vegetables, both very tasty. Prices are reasonable and value for money. Recommended.
