Le Moka, Grande-Rue 32, 2400 Le Locle

Special “Valentine’s Day” dinner, I expected better having already eaten here before and not having been disappointed. This time, there is unfortunately something to complain about. First of all the starter with the scallops, little taste apart from salt and the grilled... Then the meat was good but the sauce was very salty + the salty rösti were also too much, the vegetables had little taste... and not sure that it was not frozen. The dessert was good despite the large quantity of sauce which ended up nauseating us. We will also come back for the presentation. A quick note about the service: Other than an appetizer, no one took our drink order during the entire meal. The waitress forgot a knife while clearing it and found nothing better than to put the dessert spoon on it as if it didn't exist... very strange... For me, the price paid for a so-called "special" menu is not there, go there instead for good meat or perch fillets...

We saw a board outside with a menu that is rarely available anymore. Beef tongue with caper sauce, mashed potatoes and salad. That was lunch menu for under 20 Chf and the 2nd menu was Spaghetti Carbonara. The service was very courteous and friendly. Homemade Italian salad dressing on a green salad, then I had chicken strips with pineapple and rice, the others had the lunch menu. The food was very good and there was even a second helping of the menu with the tongue 😊 the head chef came himself and asked. Really very attentive and can only be recommended.

So, it's been a long time since I ate this well! Today's menu, in this case salad, fillet of sea bream accompanied by potatoes + small vegetables, is good to get you going at night! The good Denmark cut goes really well too! 🥰 The waitresses are pleasant and warm, the service is fast and the dishes are beautifully presented! In addition ? The daily menu is 16.50.-, which I find quite correct! For anyone wanting to eat well in a relatively affordable way, this is the ideal place!
