Fresh products and friendly service: your culinary address in Gennevilliers

  • Fresh, seasonal products

  • A stylish, light-filled dining room

  • Fine-weather dining on the terrace

  • After-work drinks and happy hour

Treat yourself to a well-deserved break at Le Charbon restaurant in Gennevilliers. Enjoy a seasonal salad or a generous burger for lunch in our light and airy dining room or on the shady terrace. Spend the evening relaxing over drinks with friends or colleagues in an inviting setting.

With a nod to the former Gennevilliers gasometer in its design and name (meaning "charcoal"), Le Charbon reflects the regeneration of the Hauts-de-Seine district, on the threshold of Paris. Accessible to all, our authentic French menu combines simplicity and quality, showcasing fresh, seasonal products.

Delve into a crisp salad, bursting with the flavours of the moment. Have a hearty appetite? Opt for the Intemporel, our signature burger with Angus beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, onion confit and barbecue sauce.

Snuggle into a sofa or choose one of our comfortable chairs, in a room framed by large, full-length windows. After lunch you will be tempted to linger in the warm sunshine, just soaking up the ambiance of the place. Our leafy terrace surrounded by trees offers a glimpse of the neighbourhood's greenery, with the Chanteraines park just a few minutes' walk away.

After a long day's work, happy hour is the ideal time to bond with your team over drinks in a laid-back atmosphere.

    (Translated by Google) I came with some preconceptions looking at the comments on Google but I was very surprised. Warm reception, quick support from a waiter, fast service, the menu is simple (little choice) but the dishes are good and well presented and the prices are fair. Restaurant to recommend. I don't give it 5* because it lacks a bit of choice.

    Je suis venu avec des aprioris en regardant les commentaires sur Google mais j'ai été bien surpris. Réception chaleureuse, prise en charge rapide par un serveur, service rapide, la carte est simple (peu de choix) mais les plats sont bons et bien présentés et les tarifs sont corrects. Restaurant à recommander. Je ne mets pas 5* car il manque un peu de choix.

    (Translated by Google) One of my worst restaurant experiences in a long time. We came with 6 colleagues for dinner on Tuesday November 19 around 7 p.m. There were certainly a few people in the room.

    We sit down and a waiter comes to take our orders after about 15 minutes. He admits to us that he does not know if all the drinks (listed on the menu) exist in the requested format and presents himself as a temporary worker (so far nothing extraordinary even if he could have read the menu before the service).

    After 45 minutes of waiting, he came to tell us that the dish chosen by 3 colleagues was in fact no longer available and that we had to choose something else... A long wait followed. After an hour and a half of waiting, 3 colleagues and then a 4th were served: “overcooked”, “not good”.

    After almost 2 hours of waiting, we decided to stop there and leave without the last 2 (including me) having seen their dish. I should point out that we only ordered one dish and one drink each (salmon and zero coke in my case, I think they are still fishing for salmon).

    We left expressing our dissatisfaction. We were told about the lack of staff, the use of temporary workers who do not know the restaurant, the absence of a manager for the evening service... Note however less of a commercial gesture: we did not pay for the drinks (a free zero coke for a 2 hour wait and no dinner in my case)

    Une de mes pires expériences dans un restaurant depuis longtemps. Nous sommes venus avec 6 collègues pour dîner le mardi 19 novembre vers 19h. Il y avait certes un peu de monde en salle.

    Nous nous installons et un serveur vient prendre nos commandes au bout de 15 minutes environ. Il nous avoue ne pas savoir si tous les boissons (inscrites au menu) existent au format demandé et se présente comme interimaire (jusque là rien d'extraordinaire même s'il aurait pu prendre connaissance de la carte avant le service).

    Au bout de 45 minutes d'attente, il vient nous dire que le plat choisi par 3 collègues n'est en fait plus disponible et qu'il faut choisir autre chose... S'en suit une longue attente. Au bout d'1h30 d'attente, 3 collègues puis un 4eme sont servis : "trop cuit", "pas bon".

    Au bout de presque 2 heures d'attente, nous décidons d'arrêter là et de partir sans que les 2 derniers (dont je fais partie) n'aient vu leur plat. Je précise que nous n'avons commandé qu'un plat et une boisson chacun (saumon et coca zéro dans mon cas, je pense qu'ils pêchent encore le saumon).

    Nous sommes partis en exprimant notre mécontentement. Nous a été évoqué le manque de personnel, le recours à des intérimaires qui ne connaissent pas le restaurant, l'absence de manager pour le service du soir... A noter néanmoins moins un geste commercial : nous n'avons pas payé les boissons (un coca zéro gratuit pour 2h d'attente et pas de dîner dans mon cas)

    (Translated by Google) Not up to par on several levels. It really bothers me to criticize the honorable people in the service but! Move your ass, you're serving a brothel restaurant.

    Waiting to take the order for drinks, waiting to receive the drinks, the quantity not being there (send an email to management, etc.)

    Waiting to order meals, as much to be served.

    The dishes, 20€ barely cooked, few fries (industrial), it's the dish of the day therefore designed to satisfy.

    Result, too much waiting and poor service on many points.

    Too bad, when the quality is not there, it is often the service that enhances the image of an establishment…

    Pas à la hauteur sur plusieurs plans. Ça me dérange vraiment de critiquer les honorables personnes du service mais ! Bougez-vous le popotin, vous faites le service d’un restaurant bordel.

    De l’attente pour prendre la commande des boissons, de l’attente pour recevoir les boissons, la quantité pas au rendez-vous ( faites un mail à la direction … )

    De l’attente pour la commande des repas, autant pour être servi.

    Les plats, 20€ à peine cuit, peu de frites ( industrielle ), c’est le plat du jour donc prévu pour satisfaire.

    Résultat, beaucoup trop d’attente et un service à la peine sur beaucoup de points.

    Dommage, quand la qualité n’est pas au rendez-vous, c’est souvent le service qui rehausse l’image d’un établissement…
