Le 235 Restaurant,Bar in Forges-les-Eaux

Le 235 in Forges-les-Eaux is a small but mighty French bistro that offers a mix of traditional and modern cuisine. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, with a happy buzz of conversation. The interior design is contemporary with zebra-striped flock wallpaper and disco colors. The price range is reasonable for the quality of food, with set menus ranging from 15.50 euros for two courses to 33 euros for three courses. Located near the casino, Le 235 is a great spot for a pre or post-gambling meal. The establishment offers outdoor seating on a small terrace for smokers. The restaurant is family-owned and run, with a quality vibe and wonderful high-quality food and wine. The menu offers a small selection of starters, mains, cheese, and desserts. The salmon tartare starter is absolutely delightful, while the house specialty burger is a work of art and far cry from the usual poor offering of this dish. The beef fillet, cod, and burgers are also excellent choices. The desserts are scrumptious, with an inverted version of "Ile Flottante" (sometimes referred to as "œufs à la neige") being a standout option. The drink menu includes a good selection of wines to go with the food, such as a Côtes du Rhône, and cocktails like a Kir Royal. Soft drinks are also available, including Perrier and Coca-Cola. Overall, Le 235 is a fabulous fine dining spot that exceeds expectations with its fresh and modern cuisine, friendly service, and lovely atmosphere. It's definitely worth booking ahead as it tends to fill up quickly.
