Regarding my post about my lunch at Chartier - 

 

 

I wish to advise you that you can pass this restaurant as the food is not that great though its inexpensive so no need to waste your time with this as you may have to queue for a long time like this (I passed by last night)

Fantastic escargot - staff told me only serve escargot for dinner but I insisted so he obliged

Beef was also very good

But why the French don't make good French fries? Fries looked rather sad no? 😂
