Worst dining experience in France.
This place was recommended to us by our hotel. Guess they recommend it to everyone and they get lots of tourist business.
We directly got an English card because our French wasn't perfect. Was not very well translated to we weren't sure what they meant with the dishes. We were too lazy to ask for the french card.
Service was OK, but we spent 20 Euro on a bottle of wine that was not that great. Then went to a bar the next night where they were selling the same bottle for 11 Euro.
We had to ask for water, they didn't bring it directly. And then they asked if we wanted gas or not. Even when we had said, caraffe d´eau, they clearly were trying to take advantage of us.
But we were waiting for the food. If it was good, then it'd be OK.
First dish came. My partner got deep fried 'duck' rolls with a huge layer of cinnamon. That was it. And I got a soup, which tasted like water with a bit of creme and a few cubes of bread that had been rubbed with garlic. It was extremely hot and did not cool for at least 15 minutes.
The entrees were bad, but still, we waited for the main course.
I could see the kitchen--they were removing plastic wrap from the dishes and then putting lids on them before serving. When we got the food my worst fears had been met. The food was internally so hot, the hot you only get when you put something in the microwave. My dish was 3/4 (not fresh) mashed potatoes and a little fatty duck. My partners was the microwaved 'moroccan' dish with again, no flavor. The waiter made a big show of smelling the delicious dish as he opened the (cold) top of the moroccan dish.
We cancelled our dessert and paid and left. Still paid 60 Euro.
We both had bad stomachs that night.
In the end, we were just shocked that in France one could eat so bad. read more
