I have been wanting to try this restaurant in Colombier for years and finally went last night. My wife and I were both very impressed.
We started with appetizers of a delicious goat cheese salad (the greens, endive and red and yellow bell peppers more like a chopped salad) and an excellent tuna tataki with three sauces.
My wife ordered a vegetarian pizza (seems pizza is sort of their claim to fame) that was excellent. Sauteed sweetbreads was a menu item that is not seen that often on menus here, so I went for it and was glad I did. The sweetbreads were tender without being mushy and the Sauternes sauce, although a little too sweet for my taste, had enough tartness to be delicious.
We finished with a banana crumble with vanilla ice cream and a tiramisu. Both desserts were delicious and there were no leftovers.
Les Bananiers is a real treat. The setting is casual and very local. There was only one other table of "foreigners" and there were several obviously local families with their kids. Service was extremely friendly and prompt. Prices appear to be probably 30-40% less than what we have been paying for similar quality. We will definitely return on our next trip.
