“ Me and my wife went there for our first year anniversary. We didn't want to do a super fancy diner so we opted for a more relaxed, easy going brunch instead. The restaurant is pretty new so we didn't really know what to expect. The good: The food is very very good, there are many options to choose from and as it is a brunch all you can eat, it really is worth your time being there. The bad: When we got there for our 11:30am reservation, we got seated and then we waited 15 minutes... Then the only server finally came and asked us what we wanted to drink (1 fruit juice and 1 hot beverage) and to explain that we could simply serve ourselves whenever we wanted, which we felt like could've been said to us while seating us instead of making us wait. The hot beverage is served at the same time as the juice, so if you start with salty foods and want to keep your coffee or tea or hot chocolate for the dessert, good luck with your now cold beverage. The ugly: There was no dedicated space to dispose of dirty plates, there's only one server so she wasn't really coming to the tables to put dirty plates away, you have to give them to the cooks behind the bar, but they struggled as well because well they were also cooking. There were no special utensils for picking up the food, only regular forks or spoons, so it was complicated at times and I noticed people resorting to using their hands to help themselves. Overall I liked the experience mainly for the food, but the atmosphere and service were a bit rough around the edges, but I guess it's ok since it's a pretty new restaurant and they can only improve moving forward :) ”
“ Fantastic food at Michelin * standard. Attentive service, chef in attendance and great wine list. Highly recommend. ”
“ Le GRIC est une superbe expérience culinaire : des assiettes créatives, raffinées et pleines de saveurs (mention spéciale au tartare de veau et aux langoustines parfaitement travaillées.) Le service est impeccable et j’ai adoré que les cuisinières viennent présenter chaque plat avec passion et précision. Produits locaux de grande qualité, associations audacieuses et un vrai savoir-faire. Niveau tarif ce peut être un budget un peu élevé pour certains (autour de 50€ - 55€ par personne pour entrée/plat/dessert sans les boissons) mais c’est largement justifié par l’expérience et la qualité des plats. Petit bonus pour l’attention adorable en fin de repas avec les madeleines sortant du four :) Une adresse à faire absolument si vous êtes de passage à Orléans ! ”
“ Nous avons eu la chance de savourer un menu dégustation dans ce restaurant haut de gamme. Ambiance au top, orchestrée par une équipe de cheffe 100% féminine qui cuisine juste devant nous au comptoir : un art tout en simplicité et en sincérité. Les plats sont raffinés, sans jamais tomber dans l’ostentation : on sent la maîtrise, mais aussi l’envie de partager en simplicité. Les vins sont très bien conseillés, ils accompagnent chaque assiette parfaitement. Puisque vous nous avez demandé de trancher …coup de cœur personnel pour la langoustine : une délicatesse et une subtilité qui forcent le respect. Bravo à celle qui entamait le voyage avec les entrées, à la cheffe qui signe les plats et à la pâtissière qui clôture en beauté : vous avez su trouver l’équilibre parfait. Chapeau bas à toute l’équipe, et merci pour cette expérience qu’on revivra… ”
