Ron S. — Google Maps 5/5

It was a lovely meal in a very nice restaurant. Very good service from all staff made this a 5 star experience. We managed to get a table before the evening rush on very busy Saturday prior to Christmas, the atmosphere was excellent without it being so noisy that you could not have a conversation.

Excellent Caesar salad and dessert (macaron poire). Good quality/price.

Unfortunately, Le 16 Carnot is overpriced, overrated and not worth eating at. My fiancé and I went to visit on a whim whilst out in Poitiers and looking for a bite to eat for dinner. We had previously heard good things about Le 16 Carnot, so we decided to go in and give it a try. The atmosphere as you walk in is okay, but a little too pretentious for my liking. We started off with some mocktails, which were essentially just juice, before deciding to move directly the 500g ribeye (entrecôte) main to follow. None of the starters drew us in at all, but there was some popcorn to snack on at the table, which was a nice touch. We both requested our steaks to be cooked medium rare and, when they first came out, they were absolutely shocking. Raw is the only word I could use to describe the cookery of our steaks. I am a fan of medium rare and even rare steaks, but this was just another level of blue. We both ended up sending our steaks back to be cooked further as they were inedible the way...
