The place is is cozy is beautiful, the service is friendly and pretty good. The food... OMG!!! It was the best food on my Europe trip!!! I had the Menu of the day for $29, super affordable and a lot of food. The wine was delicious as well. read more

Derriere - Entree - French Near Me - Metz, 57

This place came recommended by a friend who said she had always walked past and thought how cute Derriere looked. She was right, it's a lovely little deli with a few tables out front and and an adorable back room (derriere Derriere) filled with mismatched furniture, funky lamps and thrift store finds. The decor is as chilled and relaxed as the pleasant and helpful service. The manager/owner was kind enough to fit us in last minute during a crowded lunch hour and serve us very quickly as we only had 35 minutes to eat. The one failing I found with this place was the food. I have no objections to small menus - I find they tend to mean a kitchen focuses on what it can do well - but this menu was pretty stodgy for a warm August day. N's polenta and breaded swordfish was tasty enough but very bland and unexciting and my aubergine lasagna was made up of very thick slices of aubergine which never quite cooked through, and a pretty boring tomato sauce in dire need of herbs and seasoning. All in all the ambiance is lovely and perhaps if you go for a glass of wine and some things to taste from the deli counter it's a better experience? I was a little sad it had to be said as I so wanted this cute place to have food to match. read more
