The owner was rude and arrogant. We wanted to support this women owned business but the owners'…read moreelitism attitude prevented us from eating here. We were staying nearby and noticed that the restaurant was always less than a 1/3 full despite its reviews. We stopped by on a Tuesday at 6:30 pm long before the typical dinner hour. There were only 2 people in the restaurant. As it was empty we asked for a window seat (we were a party of 2 and the window seat was a table for four. We were shown a very small 2 top even though the restaurant was EMPTY. We said we planned to order fondue and the pot is sizable, could we please get a larger table. We were told that the small table was our only option. We said that the restaurant was empty could they accommodate us. The OWNER didn't. We ate elsewhere. When we passed by 1 1/2 hrs later after a delicious fondue meal elsewhere the restaurant was still empty. Bad service = no customers. This owner 's customer service was atrocious and she was a snob.

I am a huge fondue fan and so I really enjoyed my meal here. However, that said generally fondues…read morethat I have had previously have been better than this one was. I was expecting a lot from a goat's cheese fondue, given my love of the chevre, but the meal didn't quite deliver. The taste was far too mild. We had bread and potatoe to dip in and for some reason a side dish of various presentations of pig. I have only had potatoes with fondue once before and they were served warm. Here the potatoe was cold, which wasn't that good. The service was efficient but not particularly friendly. I would still suggest that this place is worth a look if you fancy a fondue in Lille. I am just being harsh because I know it can be done so much better. When we were here it was very quiet but the fact that he told us we would need to vacate the table before 9pm (rather unnecessary I thought as this gave us 2 hours!) tells me that this place can get very busy (the other reviews back this up). Have an early lunch and go at 7 would be my tip!

I recently ate at Petit Patron, on the recommendation of several locals in Bruges. Petit Patron…read morehas a reputation for great fondue, so I was eager to try this restaurant. The restaurant is conveniently located near tourist areas, and has a cozy, traditional atmosphere. There was a crackling fire in the fireplace, and lots of traditional woodwork. It was decorated for Christmas, which was nice. The staff was efficient and friendly. We ordered a bottle of white wine to go along with our traditional cheese fondue and were a little disappointed in receiving an old bottle of white wine that tasted off. After the server had the bar tender try the wine, they agreed it was old and provided us with a new/fresh bottle. The cheese fondue was served at the table (as you'd expect) with fresh bread and other accompaniments. The cheese fondue was good (what's not to love about cheese fondue, right?) but to be honest, I've had better. Typically one can taste a few different cheeses (emmenthaler, gruyere). This fondue, while fine, seemed a bit basic/standard for a restaurant that specializes in fondue. Overall a good experience, and I'd certainly recommend the place to others. Perhaps the other types of fondue offer a bit more complexity than the one we ordered.

We made reservations a day before and got the very last table for the next night, so I'd advise to make reservations. We sat upstairs and the food was brought up in a food elevator. The atmosphere and decor are nice and cozy, it looks just like the pictures on their website. We ordered the mixed meat fondue for all of us, with added lamb. It comes with fries and salad and if you run out they'll bring you more, free of charge. We ordered the house red which was a wonderful wine at a great price. The staff was very attentive. Parking is very close to the restaurant, but we didn't have to park as we stayed at a hotel across the street. I would have given them 5 stars if they had done a fondue for dessert, there's no better dessert at a fondue restaurant than a chocolate fondue!
