CLEOPATRA - Tournai — Restaurant in Tournai

Probably only the cheese and pickles platter tasted alright. Soup taste weak and lacking. Standard of grilled meat over all is bad-- dry, hard and some over grilled becoming literarily burnt. I have tried to eat some of them jus to get over with it but couldn't finish as they were too dry, hard and pretty to bitter due to the burnt parts. My partner, the most unfussy eater in the world, didn't wan anything to go to waste, ate the rest. Pretty horrible experience as we had Tajine's before and the taste was great and Tajin is SUPPOSE TO BE VERY GOOD. So this was pretty much a disappointment and shock-- not culturally but qualityofkitchen-wise. Of course will never ever go back again. Doubted all the good reviews here, it's either they are all the most unfussy eaters in the world or have terribly low standards or way too kind. My standards are not awfully high but I take my food seriously and I expect the chef to get the basics right at least. When I have to struggle with meat that's dry, hard and burnt or basically overcooked or maybe left there too long it becomes dry and hard and yet the restaurant still wants to serve it regardless of the consequences, I find that appalling, reviling and honestly, unacceptable. HIGHLY...

The restaurant was taking care of a very large group, and I did not know. It was 20 minutes before closing, but my train was canceled, so I had wandered to this restaurant and stopped for a late lunch. I do not speak the language, but a man welcomed me and my partner in, told us to sit wherever we like, and took care of us. Staff was kind, professional, and fast. I saw plate after plate lined up on the counter with beautiful and colorful food filling them up! They did a fabulous job getting the group's food out and tending to the other tables waiting. I was shocked at their ability to handle so much with good attitudes and impeccable plates. This restaurant could have turned me away, among others entering, so close to closing. They didn't, and I am grateful. My meal was fantastic! I ordered the Scampi Maison, and my partner ordered a chicken plate. We fought over my scampi sauce because it was that good! My partner was putting it on his chicken. We were dipping his fries in it and scraping the pita bread across the plate to soak up every drop. I will bring family members by train just to try this restaurant when this...

Très déçu... Bientôt 10 ans que j'y vais... La dernière fois c'était ce mardi 6 août... Et ça n'a sera plus une autre date. Au début c'était vraiment bon... Au plus j'y allais au moins les assiettes étaient remplies, bon après voilà le prix de leurs achats augmentent aussi mais ça n'est pas une excuse.. Et surtout.. Le 6 juin avant dernière fois que j'ai étais.. Un chien couché sur la chaise juste à côté. Est ce normal ? J'ai eu du mal à revenir mais bon je me suis dis peut être des habitués et le temps fait que nous ne pouvons pas refuser des gens ramenant une 50ene d'euros chaque semaine. Le 6 août. Boum chien sur LES GENOUX de la femme pendant qu'elle mangé et elle a laissé son chien lecher la sauce dans son assiette de pita ? Honteux. Je n'ai rien contre ce petit gars car c'est un animal et il est fin heureux il en demande pas plus mais la moins éduquer dans l'histoire c'est bien la propriétaire de ce chien et de Saïd et Brahim qui ne disent rien. Enfin voilà dommage qu'au bout de presque 10 ans je ne compte plus y aller. Il y a des normes et des règles d'hygiène. Mais que faire ? Prévenir la police pour leur fait qu'il ne peuvent faire ? Ça ne va rien changer il est ouvert 7j/7j et la police le sait bien mais ne dit rien car en moyenne quand j'entends qu'un plat de pita et une boisson il ne demande que 10 euros ( 11 euros la pita + 2€ la boisson) pourquoi viendraient ils lui mette une amende simplement pour un chien. Bref bonne continuation. 3 étoiles tout de même pour les 10 ans où j'ai bien manger mais si il y en avait moins. Je ne mettrais pas que une étoile pour les deux dernières...
