We went on a Tuesday evening. It was not very busy but there were still a handful of people there. The ambiance was nice and the staff were very nice and helpful but the food was lacking...
We had the shrimps appetizer. This was pretty good. It had a nice sauce and good taste.
Then we wanted to order the couscous with chicken, at which point the manager very kindly informed us the chicken for that day was actually not halal. The same was true for a few other items on the menu. So if you eat halal, make sure to ask. Insteda he recommended we get the grilled seafood platter and a couscous with lambchops he made especially for us as that was one of the few halal cuts he had for the day.
The seafood platter was just okay. The calamari was nice but thats about it. The rest was just okay. The couscous itself was okay. It came with a kind of vegetable stew that I believe you're supposed to eat with is. This had too much celery for my personal liking. Then came the lambchops... there were 3 in total. 1 was well done and 2 were raw. Like raw raw. I was going to say something when they took the plates away but unfortunately the server who spoke no English took that particular plate away.
It was dissappinting as we paid around 70 euros for 2 people and neither of us reallt...
   Read moreTo start with we ordered some fried calamari which was the only dish that was okay! Rest all was par below standards both taste and hygiene wise. We ordered also some Tajine and Beef steak, the Tajine pot looked like it was not washed properly after the previous use. We could see a lot of food remains on the side of the pot. The beef was super chewy, and we couldnt eat it anymore after a while. The tajine was supposed be served with some fresh bread, but the one we received was stale and cold and in a basket that looked like it had mold under. They just have a few bread baskets and then just reuse them for each customer without any paper or anything under. Apart from that we ordered a mocktail and that had a fruit fly in it. The people indeed were friendly but were more attentive to tables with larger group. Like the bread with tajine came to our table when we asked for it and after our dinner was...
   Read moreNous avons choisi de dßner dans ce restaurant lors de notre récente visite à Durbuy, attirés par sa bonne note sur TripAdvisor. Malheureusement, notre expérience a été trÚs décevante, bien loin des avis élogieux laissés par d'autres clients.
Nous avions réservé une table en terrasse, mais dÚs notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par une désagréable et persistante odeur d'égouts. Cela a grandement gùché notre plaisir de déguster un repas dans de telles conditions.
Le principal point nĂ©gatif a Ă©tĂ© le temps d'attente excessivement long pour chaque service, mĂȘme en dĂ©but de soirĂ©e oĂč le restaurant n'Ă©tait pas trĂšs frĂ©quentĂ©. Il nous a fallu attendre prĂšs de 25-30 minutes pour que nos assiettes vides soient dĂ©barrassĂ©es aprĂšs avoir terminĂ© notre entrĂ©e. Quand j'ai osĂ© mentionner cette attente interminable au serveur, sa rĂ©ponse a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©concertante : « Si vous ĂȘtes pressĂ©, il ne faut pas prendre dâentrĂ©e ». Une telle remarque n'est pas du tout professionnelle et a laissĂ© une mauvaise impression sur le service.
En ce qui concerne les plats, nous avons commandĂ© des grillades mixtes accompagnĂ©es de frites et de couscous, ainsi qu'une assiette du pĂȘcheur. Malheureusement, la qualitĂ© Ă©tait loin d'ĂȘtre Ă la hauteur de nos attentes. La viande de la grillade mixte Ă©tait particuliĂšrement sĂšche et peu abondante. Les portions de semoule et de bouillon Ă©taient Ă©galement trĂšs petites, ce qui ne correspondait pas Ă l'image de gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© que l'on associe habituellement aux restaurants mĂ©diterranĂ©ens en Belgique. Quant Ă l'assiette du pĂȘcheur, elle manquait de saveur et Ă©tait mal assaisonnĂ©e, avec des morceaux de poisson au goĂ»t amer.
En somme, c'est la premiÚre fois de ma vie que je prends le temps de laisser un commentaire aprÚs une visite au restaurant, mais je me sens obligée de le faire pour prévenir d'autres visiteurs. Je ne recommande absolument pas cet établissement, que ce soit pour sa cuisine, son service ou son cadre.
à éviter...
