La Fiancée du Pirate — Restaurant in La Rochelle

Service was absolutely terrible. And food did not impress.

We arrived to an almost empty restaurant and where ignored for 10 minutes at front of house ,before someone finally came and told us we would need to book for an hour from now, wich is okay and we did.

When we arrived later , we where again completely ignored. Pardons , excuse mois , all ignored. After 15 minutes we finally where seated. Then 15 minutes later we managed to call a waitress over to give us menus. After ordering food , a bottle of wine and water. only the wine arrived. Took another 15 minutes to get water delivered. I do not know how they manage the restaurant floor but staff look at you while you try get thier attention and pretend they did not see you. Or tell you" oh I thought someone already did" I assume because its a touristic area they do not care about service as tables will always be full. But it felt like everyone was under the impression we where someone else's section/problem.

The muscles where decent. Good portion, but the supplement curry sauce was such a disappointment. DIiluted to a point that it is almost flavourless. And only poured in the centre so 1/4 of the muscles had any of the sauce. The friend we are staying with had a savory crepe and said that it was good. But she too was completely shocked by the service and attitude of the staff. It seems the row of restaurants by the port simply do not care to provide a good experience. They are there to make profit...

Expecations were low, but they failed to reach that low bar.

This may be the worst place I've paid to eat. Avoid at all costs.

Foolishly, we had failed to reserve a table where we wanted to eat and ended up here after an 1h 15m wait.

Ot is an extraordinarily busy spot and jam-packed. The volume of dinners is undeserved. There were no muscles left at 9.15 of a Tue evening, so both my wife and I both had savoury crepes. These are the specialities of the restaurant, I dis not finish mine, and she left over half of hers.

Service is slow, but at least it's cheap, I've eaten here, so you never have to.

Avoid....

This restaurant is the worst restaurant ive dined at in my life. From the service where they left us 1.5 hours after taking the order and then a waiter comes and asks “what are you waiting for here?” To when finally we got the food after 2 hours where the steak was un edible and the potato looked like it was boiled a month ago then put in the microwave. Ive attached the photo. After that they charged us in full. A great way to ruin your vacation, avoid...
