Restaurant La Cafetière Fêlée — Restaurant in Grasse

Big expectations, super low outcome. Booked a table for 2 for a birthday night, expected "fusion" cuisine being something special. The result being - well prepared gyoza starter, that was actually the best part of the evening; very low quality cocktails that we didn't like at all (10 euro each); okay wok (nothing fusion in this one, just a regular wok you would get in a food truck); ordinary tuna tataki with something on top that they call foi gras (nothing even close to the taste, more like a tasteless piece of fat) with empty sides, only fusion thing about this one is plating but from 2003; terrible desserts with super strange combinations of flavours, chocolate cake half left.

About the service, after each course the waitress asked how was the food. After a half dessert was left untouched, she silently took it away, not even wondering what was wrong.

If you want to pay a lot of money for mediocre food - that's the place. Super disappointed to choose this place over other options.

To the owners - wish you to review and retaste your food and choices to adjust so it's worth the price tag you are putting on.

Not sure about the other reviews, I would say they are not generated - this place is very far from being 1k reviews 4.8 at the time...

We’ve eaten in many restaurants this week and met some wonderful people, on this occasion however, we were greeted by a very unpleasant lady as soon as we stepped into the restaurant. We were marched back outside and led to a narrow table in the street, right next to the door of both the restaurant and the kitchen, not a particularly pleasant place, and with one of the most uncomfortable chairs I’ve ever had the displeasure of sitting on, for 15 minutes this may have been okay, but it’s certainly not somewhere I wanted to spend a few hours, especially when we had reserved beforehand. There was a table free for two inside, but apparently this was not available to us (we were not given the option of inside/outside when we made the booking).

As it happens we left and had a wonderful meal elsewhere so we didn’t let it spoil our evening. The importance of customer service and treating your customers with respect should never be underestimated, with so many good restaurants to choose from we were not going to stick around and be...

We reserved a table in the last minute and were able to get a table. The staff were really friendly. She apologized to us that her English wasn't good at all so she might not be able to understand what we wanted. And we apologized to her for not able to speak some basic French to order our food. We ended up with some laughs together and we were able to order what we wanted anyway. Asian/French food fusion here is very unique! The beef tartar was really tasty; cod fish hand roll was really special and the side dishes were excellent; scallops with risotto was extremely good! I guess this was probably the top 3 risotto we've ever tried. The overall dining experience was really good, though the wait in the beginning was a bit longer than we expected. We understood the reason that the restaurant was really packed at that time so it didn't bother us too much. As mentioned, the friendliness of the staff easily made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We will definitely visit again when we get another chance...
