Pizzeria le Lacustre - Doucier

Place with excellent location to eat, good value for money. All very good.

Very good Italian cuisine, fast service and attentive service.

Good address. But it is an Italian restaurant, as its name does not indicate. A little expensive but it's good.

We had noticed how busy this restaurant was on several occasions that we passed it whilst camping at Chatillon so we booked to eat there on our last evening in the area. My husband ordered a pizza which was lacklustre and lacking in flavour although...he confirmed that the base was good. My meal (chicken breast wrapped in ham with cheese sauce) came out within 2 mins and was nuclear hot suggesting that it had just been reheated in a microwave. Again, sadly it had no taste either. In addition the dish was supposed to have the choice of vegetables or chips and whilst I omitted to give my preferred choice(veg) the waiter did not ask and my meal arrived with very badly (ie rock hard) chips. Sad as the restaurant was again busy. I thought the French appreciated ‘good food’ but it appears that ‘any food’ was good enough in this instance.

We tried here on our final full day staying at the nearby Lac de Chalain. We had hoped that it would provide a pleasant escape from the relentless midday heat. As it turned out, the seating area was scorchingly hot and the sun just radiated...off the ground so the shading helped little. Service was not very friendly and really quite slow. It was almost as if we were a general inconvenience to them. The food came very quickly which made us believe that the chicken pasta was not freshly prepared. The pizza we ordered was topped with poor cheese and sauce and the dough was very thick, and overall not very tasty at all. The children had only a limited option of chicken nuggets all of them hard. In addition, soft drinks were expensive at 3.20 Euro each. We intended to have a nice informal lunch at a local restaurant, but left feeling like we had spent a lot of money for a poor experience.
