Chez Laurette — Restaurant in Aix-en-Provence

Definitely the worst food I’ve had in a restaurant, period. It’s so bad it’s a little funny.

The onion soup appeared to be just water and onions, no taste whatsoever, apart from maybe a hint of vinegar, but that could have been a bit of dishwasher residue as well. No amount of salt or pepper could rescue this baby.

The Italian burger was an insult to Italians, burnt to a crisp with a dough like bit of, what I think was supposed to be, or had been in another lifetime, cheese, underneath.

The fries were McCain airfry, but undercooked.

The lasagna was a pool of fatty mince, not a hint of tomato, and the small salad was a handful of salade leaves with vinegar or the same dishwasher residue.

I didn’t even know it was possible to serve such bad food professionally, is no one tasting that stuff before it goes out?

The guy convincing us to go in without checking the google reviews was a charming guy and very...

Stopped for some lunch and passed by and it said Moules was their speciality. As we both love Moule (and have had it many times before) we went in. The Moule arrived very (suspiciously) quickly. They were the worst I’ve ever had. Most shells were empty. They had not been cleaned properly at all. Many had their “beards” which should always be removed. The sauce was almost non existent and full of gritty dirt. They were rubbery. Some even burnt. We very politely complained and the woman said they are Moule like we didn’t understand how they should be. Then she stomped off and returned with a second bowl that she slapped down on the table. It was exactly the same. We asked for the bill without eating it. We paid in full as I have diabetes and needed to get somewhere else to eat something. Worst food AND service I’ve ever...

I arrived at the restaurant with my gf and her friends and ordered a steak with fries (25€).

When I was asked for the level of doneness I asked it to be Medium Rare. We waited for 45 (!!) minutes. The server then brought our food, apologized for the delay, but didn't provide any compensation.

My steak arrived with TONS of extra fat and was crisp, burnt on the sides and basically light years away from anything resembling Medium Rare. It also had no taste or flavor.

I didn't want to wait another 45 min and I also didn't want to make my gf friends uncomfortable, so I didn't ask for a replacement. That being said, this is nowhere near the level of quality I would expect for paying 25€ for a dish.
