PULELEHUA Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Has anyone been to St. Remy du Lac since they opened in the new location below the Panteon? ( I posted detailed directions back in November.) The hours posted are 12 noon to 11 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideSky Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 SunshineyDay - I searched St. Remy and found this (as Pulelehua stated a Nov post) " The route we took: Turned off the carretera onto Las Flores (Don Pedro restaurant, French Bakery, new brew shop) heading makai ( toward the Lake.) Turned right at Ocampo. Passed the Panteon on the right. Turned left onto San Pedro (first street to left after the Panteon.) Kept driving until we noticed a newly painted wall (smashing tangerine color) and turned right onto a no-sign (LOL) street. A young man was working outside #10 A and we inquired if a restaurant would be opening there? Yes. St. Remy? Yes! When? Aiming for November 16. The FB page for St. Remy du Lac also has "directions" (click on "about") and gives the street address of Calleon San Francisco #10 which on Google Earth matches the above findings (do not use "search" as it will send you to Riberas; just negotiate to the neighborhood using the above directions and look for a U-shaped street east of where Urea dead-ends.. There seem to be more than one FB page so be sure to open the page that includes the SF address and has a photo of plated foie gras. Two phone numbers given: 376-766-0607 and 331-603-7343" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Terrible location IMO. I wish them luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PULELEHUA Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The location is definitely out of the way BUT so was Emiliano Zapata and the parking is infinitely better at the new location: they have their own parking lot. Some of us will go very far - even to the stars - for an enjoyable meal in a lovely setting. My plan is to get there this week and to encourage them to start posting their existence on the web board.

Carnivore Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Go west on the Carretera and turn south on the street that runs between Don Pedro's and the Brew House (De Las Flores). At Ocampo turn right and then at the very next corner turn left and you'll be on San Pablo. (Just as you're about to turn left you'll notice the Ajijic cemetery to your right. )At the next corner on your right is St. Remy but to enter their parking lot you have to turn right at that corner and go to the end of the property on which the restaurant is situated. That short section of street is called "San Pedro". If you were to continue past the restaurant parking lot the street curves around to your left (the name changes to San Antonio) and comes right back out to San Pablo. One thing though. With such limited hours of operation you'll have to be prepared, understand and appreciate that the prices are definitely above the Ajijic or Lakeside "norm" but are totally in keeping with what the restaurant is trying to provide to those who appreciate good food, good service and a pleasing ambiance! They've had some "wrinkles" thus far but it will all likely work out to everyone's satisfaction soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcaschetta Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can't wait to try this place . I understand it's a little more pricey , but if it's as good as everyone says , I don't care . Should I expect about $800p per person ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Saltos Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Our experience at their previous location would not support such an average unless you each had a bottle of wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Friends of mine went and they were staggered on how expensive it was, for special occaisions only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Average entree is about $220-300p. FYI, Bruno's baseball filet is up to $225 and salad extra. Lamb shank at the brew pub is $160. So, yes they are a bit higher but considering the quality, good value. This was always the issue with No. 4. Face it, some people can't afford it but shouldn't bitch about it!

canmex87 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 There is a review of St. Remy du Lac on page 15 of this weeks Guadalajara Reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've had the privilege of dining at St. Remy when it was located at Tres Leones. Absolutely outstanding food, service and ambience. Worth every penny. The food was even better than Number 4 when Kim owned it. Neither Number 4 nor St. Remy nor Go Bistro were ever part of our "regular" dinner dining but were reserved for more special occasions. I get to check out the new location of St. Remy's next week. I'm already salivating in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobita Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 We went a couple weeks ago. The food was very good ... but about on par with the weekly specials at Go (which is cheaper), not on the order of the amazing food we had at Allium a couple of months ago (which was similarly priced). The service was quite poor -- one server was actively rude, and the others were inattentive. Personally, I only spend that kind of money for a meal a few times a year, and in that case I'd prefer to go someplace like Allium in Guadalajara -- it's worth the extra time and distance to get amazing food and good service.

El Saltos Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 We've always had excellent service at St. Remy. The food is in a class by itself locally. There have been only a few restaurants here over the last 10 years with such high quality. Chefs Manuel and Laurant come to mind as welll as Greg and others at 4.

lobita Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Oh, it's also worth noting that although their web site offers online reservations, apparently no one checks that email and those 'reservations' go into a black hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chartiec Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Loved the old place and food, but the food at this new location is very bad. Ten of us ate there last night and only three were happy with their food. Venue nice, service good but food bad and pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food reviews are useless if they aren't specific about what was good and why, or bad......and why. Pricey? Well, how much was the dish? How did it compare to other popular eateries?
