I don't recall the wine list as being extensive as such, but we were happy with nice Bordeaux. Note to self: I have to take my notepad out with me and make some notes, it's amazing how much I have forgotten - the reviews will improve in detail from here on in! For this one however, it was a nice Bordeaux - enough said! ;o)
Perusing the menu there were some solid French classics: escargot, moules, Toulouse sausages. The variety seemed ok as well, although the mains had a slightly fishy focus for me, but that's maybe just my taste, unfortunately not all of the meaty mains were too my taste which probably didn't help.
A quick snap shot of our dishes:
Me: Chicken liver and foie gras parfait, Moules frites, Lemon Tart
My man: Potted shrimp, Toulouse sausages w/ roasties and sauer kraut, Chocolate tart
Without notes I'll struggle with a detailed review, however some aspects of the meal really stuck with me. My parfait was fantastic - smooth and rich, and accompanied with poached pears which were delicious. My man's sausages were served with sauer kraut which came as a bit of a surprise - this may have been our fault as we didn't notice it on the menu, but it was a bit of shame as it wouldn't have been one of his first choices when considering favourite accompaniments for sausages that's for sure. Another slightly disappointing element was the mussels - in the whole bowl there was actually only one lovely big juicy mussel! One! The others were all quite small, and juicy would certainly not spring to mind as a descriptor! Luckily the white wine sauce was nice and flavoursome to make up for it, and the chips were spot on.
Overall, L'Gueuleton had a warm and cosy atmosphere, which for quite a large open room is quite an accomplishment. Service was friendly and generally efficient, and I definitely considered it too be good value. We had a wonderful night, and I would whole heartedly recommend this place to all!
Price: €115 - 3 course each, one bottle wine (€36), 1 x glass dessert wine (€6), 1 x espresso (€2)
