There's bound to be plenty on the menu to choose from, I've never had a bad meal yet although I've had to resort to a Pizza best described as 'average' when stuck in a cheap hotel out of town. Luckily the bar made up for it.Every night ?

In the UK, you can pay well north of those prices for some pretty uninspiring meals out. Even more so for the wine which usually starts at around £22 - 25 for house wine. I'd say the Logis represents good value. The more so on a holiday when you may want to splash out a bit.Exactly! This is what I mean, if you have experience at a place that you like then its all subjective. My personal experience shows that if you use the Logis Guide and their colour coding then you normally can get a pretty good idea of what to expect.
As said, my preference is for the ´´blue code. Last summer we took in 8 of these on our tour round France and at only 1 were we disappointed. All were between 35 & 55 Euro for a 4-5 course menu. Wine was between 15 and 30 euros a bottle.
For the top class on the Logis site - the ´´Table Distingue´´ you can expect to be around another 20-30 per person. Example is this place which we are visiting in Summer - Hôtel Aux Maisons - The link opens on its restaurant page and the top menu was EURO 60 per person.
Or this place, also a higher graded ´´table distingue´´ - Hôtel le Cheval Blanc - also on our tour for this year. " Menus at between 38 & 42 Euro but then they have a special tasting menu at 85 Euro. For Pukmeister, probably not what you ae looking for....

I have to agree. On our recent trip round France last year the menus were all around EURO 50, many under and a couple just over. For a 3 course menu and cheese..... For me perfectly acceptable but it was pointed out to me in a previous post that actually this was purely subjective and ''many might well blanche when presented with a EURO 44 menu bill for their evening scran''......If you want to stay in what I’d describe as a mid range hotel and have a 3 course meal with no drinks in the UK I think you’ll struggle to keep the cost below £35 in cheaper locations. Put that hotel in a city centre or close to an airport and it goes up to £45 per person.

Another area where we seem to get punished is the cost of a bang average breakfast compared to Europe where breakfast is included far more frequently than it is here.
have to agree with Wessie, even on our recent France tour in all but 1 place we had to cough up EURO 15 for a veeeeeery meager breakfast....bread, a bit of cheese, jam, coffee and orange juice. That's where they kind of fall down in my eyes.I've been planning a trip down through Alsace and into the Bavarian Alps. An included breakfast is getting rarer and dearer in Europe. 15 euros is not uncommon in a French chain hotel like Ibis or Campanile
