Grill Courtepaille - Goussainville

Visited Paris for a trade fair, not a big choice of local restaurants so settled on this little place. We went by French standards very early in the evening, so very quiet when we sat down. Sure we lost a bit in translation but the food was great. A good steak cooked on an open flame. This is in an industrial area of Paris, and by the time we left the restaurant was busy and had a good vibe going on. Would we revisit is the question I alway ask myself, hell yes why not....

Hostess and waitress were very friendly upon arrival. However with our 15 month old baby we could not have a highchair. Ordering rice as a side and water, we got pasta and an ice tea. My beverage was also wrong, without saying that our first and main courses were all served at the same time... not sure what the waitress was here for. Of course it became complicated eating two courses while feeding two kids. Well we ended up having plenty of time eating cold, we could not get anyone to clear plate or ask for the check. Did I mention there were only a few tables? Go somewhere else if you can.

Not our usual style of Resturant. But it was handy to CDG Airport while we waited for our departure. Picture menu which my partner found easy. OK choice. Best of all is the proper grill, which I guess is standard for this chain. Consequentially the steaks where excellent. Good value. Lots of the clientele where French family's enjoying Sunday lunch, which in itself is a good recommendation.

Good in-store reception, we're just two or a big group. Last Saturday's waitress was too good, we even had a visit that we haven't tested the food card yet but it's appetizing. It's a good address!
