Le Café Rohan — Restaurant in Bordeaux

My review is just that, my experience on the day. I compare restaurants by expectation and value for money, I do not expect a Michelin star meal at a 15€ per mains restaurant, I expect to receive value for money whilst still rating the venue at the range they intend to portray. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We had - Lunch Day of week we visited - Friday Ease of parking – We Walked - no vehicle access to area, parking 150mt underground parking Ease of Access for Disabled – Flat easy access, one easy step to inside for toilets and covered dining Staff Greeting & seating – 9/10 - Table & Chair comfort – 10/10 - waiter levelled the table - Square table made for ample room for two.`` Overall cleanliness - 10/10 - General ambience – 9/10 - Music if any - None Just superb views Water provided - Yes Menu languages – French / with QR code, in excellent English Range of options on menu – 10/10 - Drink preparation time in minutes – 3 minutes or so, good Main fair - Meat / Seafood / Veg / Pizza / Local Mains Pricing range – From 15 € to 70€ - With an average about 26€ Food waiting time to order in minutes - 15min - quite acceptable Food presentation – 9/10 - Food quality – 9/10 - Clearance of dishes – generally good but slow after desert Staff friendliness – 10/10 - WC, Clean-stocked – 10/10 - mixed sex Would I go back – Yes Maybe Stand outs: Pro's - Views, location, Friendly well run operation Con's - Alfresco would be cold on a windy day, our day...

looked good in the online menus, but the reality was about 20% higher prices. We waited over 10 minutes to have our drink order taken, and in general our first waiter was inattentive. Our 2nd waiter (the first one disappeared) was much better. We ordered a Salad Cesar and an Entrecote with Frites. The steak was OK to good, but part of my 'rare' cut was pretty much just warmed up. The salad was a huge disappointment - iceberg lettuce? Really? We love anchovies, but the anchoise dressing was very fishy (turned?) to the point my wife could not eat it.
