    Deux Fois Plus de Piment - Marmite de poisson de Sichuan

    This was my second time at Deux Food Plus de Piment and it was as good as I remembered! We got the…read moresichuan fish stew, which was spicy without being overpowering and had a very generous portion of fish and veggies. We also tried the huiguo pork which was good. The thinly sliced pork was super crispy and was serviced with stir fried leeks. My boyfriend didn't like that the leeks weren't fully cooked, but I liked the crunch. The mapo tofu and the aubergine with pork are also must-tries!

    It was ok? I've had Sichuan in every country and city that I've visited and know what to expect…read more Not to mention my family cooks it all the time. So when I got the spiciest level for the Sichuan boiled fish, I expected to be put on fireeee for 5/5. But no....there was no fire. Just a lot of floating peppers without flavor. All the reviews had me suuuuper hyped about how spicy this spot was so this was probably one of the biggest let downs in my 15 years of eating Sichuanese cuisine. This made me super sad because I was reaaally excited to try it. So if you're a Sichuan spice addict--do not come here because it does NOT hit the spot. Try somewhere else!!!! (Maybe it's hot for French people? But definitely feels like nothing to Asian taste buds). The price is also high for what you can usually get these dishes for. Maybe this is tailored for those who don't know how to tell the difference between real legit Asian food (cheap AND delicious) and Asian-but tailored for non-Asians (fancier vibes, more expensive, meh food). You've been warned!

    I had good expectations for this restaurant but found myself extremely disappointed…read more The main issue was that photos of dishes on the menu were ridiculously misleading, and the management was even more ridiculously impolite and touchy about it. We ordered a very popular Chinese meat dish 夫妻肺片 abats façon couple marié (posted photo from menu) and got a plate full of diced onions and about a fingers size of meat. When we asked to speak to the chef/owner, he was extremely rude and brusque about it, refusing to even look us in the eye. We received absolutely horrible treatment for simply asking if there had been a mistake. Also as mentioned in other reviews, servings were really small. They're not suited for families, they're more appropriate for 2-3 people. Another huge problem was that flavors were nonexistent. This was especially unexpected as this restaurant proclaims itself to be Szechuan style, which is known for being extremely flavorful and spicy. Luckily there are plenty of other excellent Chinese restaurants in the area! Do yourself a favor and don't risk it with Saveurs de Chengdu.

    Very rarely do dishes actually look like the professional photos of the dish. So of course, when I…read morewas looking through the beautiful menu, I didn't actually expect it to come out the same. But it did. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. Besides the presentation, the food also had very nice flavors. I found the amount of peppercorn to be a little overwhelming, but there were many other flavors of the dish and I tried to focus on those instead. I ordered the mapo tofu and the chengdu dumplings. My favorite was the chengdu dumplings! I might go back and just order two servings of that! These dumplings were even better than the ones I had at nord-est ravioli. The sauce is just perfect and there was so much flavor. The mapo tofu had a nice hit to it, but like I said the peppercorn was a bit much, not too spicy but just too much in general. The waitress is super nice and was happy to converse with me in my broken mandarin! I'm a native Cantonese speaker so it was nice to get some mandarin practice in. She also speaks some french, so no worries if you can't speak chinese! The menu is also in English, French, and Chinese so it's easy to work with.

    I arrived just a few before opening time and by then a line was already forming. I think I was the…read morefifth group in the line. The waiter allowed some to enter and then asked if anyone had reservations due to limited seating. No one spoke up so he seated the rest of us. He was fair in how he handled the orders once we were seated, and asked in order of who entered first. I had their cascade petit for €38 and it came with 4 tiers. We were able to customize each layer and we chose steamed buns for the top layer, pork intestines for the second, grilled meat for the third, and this sour vegetable and fish broth for the last. We grilled our own meat and ordered some additional hot pot items for the last layer. The soup is actually tasty but gets tiring when you have a large amount of it. It also wasn't the best choice if you were thinking of using it for hot pot. Overall, this was interesting and I enjoyed my meal.

    Expect good food but also a long long wait. The food is…read morereally really good but also really really spicy. (You get to choose the type of food you want, we went for the spiciest just to have a little taste of the real Chungking city in China) If you want to eat actual Chinese food, then this is the place. The only problem is the wait, even if you call in advance, you'll have to wait; and even after you're seated, you'll have to wait for the food. The place is super super crowded, and super busy. The waiters are patient although they can't keep track of things and forget you orders (Just remind them, they're nice). It's not a good place for groups since it's really small. Go with ONE other person to better enjoy the dinner!
