This is a place that thrives on tourists like a tic thrives on forest animals and unfortunate…read moreguests. Not a single French person in the restaurant except for the waiter and her two 16-yr old accomplishes. The latter two with a memory that resemble that of a goldfish. The restaurant featured 50 guests from Denmark, Holland, Germany and Great Britain (including Scotland).
I was there with my wife and three children - and honestly the kids menu for my two boys were by far the best in the establishment. Hamburger steak for my 5-yr old, juicy, red and well spiced. A sautéed cod for my 7yr old - the fish was flavorful and firm. Nice work and wonderful garnish. They got chocolate and vanilla ice cream, and by the looks of it, they were more than satisfied.
The adults, however!. We ordered the most expensive wine on the card - a Les Amidyves 2011. Priced at €27 although the going rate in the nearby super market is €10,50 - and even that price is a bit steep considering that is not at all comparable to similar Côtes de Rhônes. It's not a good wine. Served chilled it makes a decent companion to a decent meal. But then it got worse. The set menu was ok but not great. Then came dessert time. By now the restaurant was full and the attention span of the waiters was exceeded by far. Numerous attempts to order coffee and dessert to no avail - and when the crème brûlée finally arrived, it was the worst I have ever tasted (having worked in Paris for 7 years that is something!). It was superheated somewhere in the process making the interior resemble a stirred omelet. Yikes!
Why two stars, why the apparently uncalled exuberance? Kids menu. So if you are a group of kids, go! If there is an adult among you, find an alternative.
