Brasserie Restaurant ABC - Metz

Service was good, and the view was great. Enjoyed eating outside looking at the train station on a nice day. We split the Quiche Lorraine as an appetizer very good. Hubby got the choucroute and I got the Lorraine salad, which is where I went wrong. Menu wasn't in English but thought it would be good to try their salad named after the region. It was a giblet salad. Not really my thing but can't fault them for it! Recommend eating here, just not the Lorraine salad!

...on a Sunday night, when most restaurants are closed. Accommodating service, although I guess they come across with a bit of an attitude when you do not speak French (nothing unusual here for a French Brasserie Restaurant). Mind you, the French have noticed some years ago that they are not living on an island in the middle of nowhere but in a global world and their attitude is slowly changing now. For the food, the starter of Mussels was very disappointing with the mussels being of rather poor quality, tiny, pale and not really fresh. The main course of veal was good, the meat cooked to perfection with a rich sauce. Vegetables were bland and fries overcooked. Seems to be a bit of a hit and miss this place, last time round was much better.

...without too much sophistication but offering really good value for money, go for the set menu, fresh produce, typical French / Lorraine cuisine, interior decoration somewhat outdated, tables on the terrace out the front are rather pleasant though, weather permitting, typical brasserie type staff, presenting you with a good occassion to practise your French...:-))
