I can’t recommend this restaurant. One of the worst experiences I ever had. The service is terrible, completely careless, they treated us like they were doing us a huge favor. I asked for the onion soup and the soufflé “chèvre, thym et huile d’olive”. First of all, why so much cheese on everything?! Also, what an ugly and sloppy presentation. The soup was full of cheese, but I don’t think it was gruyère, it tasted like a mussarela. The bowl was completely full, but not in a good way, there was cheese all over the place, and the soup itself, was almost tasteless. There were no toasts, in the end I could find a soaked piece of bread. They gave me two spoons (I guess they thought I would share a soup?) but, incredibly, no napkins, I had to almost beg for one. And the soufflé?! What to say about that? No taste of goat cheese, which is unbelievable. Sometimes I could taste the thyme, but the thick parmesan crust (why?) made everything absolutely tasteless. And the waiters were rude, they simply couldn’t care if we needed anything. I drank a sparkling water while waiting for a table; during my whole dinner, no one bothered to ask me if I wanted to drink something else despite my empty glass. I couldn’t even ask for another bottle, because it was incredibly hard to get the waiters’ attention. And everything took ages to arrive. After all that, I wouldn’t come back there again....
Read moreLocated in a quiet area in central BH you will find this gastronomic oasis. We were advised to arrive early as it’s first come first served here and the reservations are in advance and cater to the local BH Bon viveurs. I have read here that the experience cannot be bettered for good eats in this city. I have yet to try Glouton for their tasting menu: a referenced rival ? We were impressed by # of waiters per person. No worries as to personal service! The couverture: melon balls; herb butter; pâté; and marinated tomatoes; 3 varieties of bread (not 100% fresh tho v minor point). We were fairly sated after le soupe l’oignon and it was generous in volume: well balanced, not too salty, lots of onion and a good quality cheese (overflowing on sides as you can see). A starter of tuna salad was fresh ( leaves and tuna). After all there was still a 7 hour cooked lamb offering to come. I had just enough capacity to take a few bites and miss a dessert. As the airport hotel featured hospital food at best we decided to ask the waiter to pack the piece de resistance and ask the staff if they would care to experience… Thank-you! We hope to return at least for dessert (seemed...
Read morePetit retour sur un restaurant soit disant exceptionnel. Accueil froid. Nous sommes dans un restaurant qui s’affiche être dans la culture française, personne ne parle le français. Soit. J’accepte. Passons à l’apéritif. Juste un pâté de campagne et un tsasiky grec. Ok le pain n’ est pas trop mauvais, sec , mais pas mauvais. Passons maintenant à la prise de commande... on attend... heureusement le sommelier prend le relais et conseille quoi qu’il arrive le vin de la maison, un carminaré chilien, normal , promotion. Nous finissons par commander. Commençons par le soufflé. Il arrive. Le blanc et le reste de l’appareil ne sont pas mélangés correctement. Faute ! Passons au plat de résistance. Agneaux de 7 heure insipide. Cuisse de canard sec. Heureusement la sauce agrume sauve le canard sec et sans saveur. En fin le desserte. , un feuilleté aux fraises et pistaches. Pistache sans goût, fraises dures et pas mûres et une simple tuile de base sur une confiture diluée. Et les profiteroles ! Glace vanille fade, choux mou, et chocolat à 10 % de chocolat. Un sacrilège ! Passons à l’addition ! 697 rées.. je vous laisse juger. Et la cerise sur le gâteau, le chef parade vers des tables qui ont sans doute pris et payer le meilleures, vin à des prix in croyables... nous ? Rien. Il faut donc se rendre à l’évidence. Si vous bouler dépenser votre argent, n’allez pas dans ce restaurant, il ressemble à une brasserie moyenne parisienne. Ne perdez pas votre temps ni votre argent. Préférez les restaurant bresilien de base. Vous en aurez au moins pour votre argent. Service 5/10, rapport/ Qualite 4/10,...
