La Wilderie — Restaurant in Lille

The interior of the cafe was nice; well decorated with plants and gardening accessories for sale. They had a good variety of plants and were relatively decently priced. Food was pretty ok, nothing that spectacular. Drinks however, were a great disappointment.

Their homemade ice tea, 3€, was essentially a glass of water tinged with slight color. The iced cappuccino was the same, 4.50€ for a glass of off white milk with 2 ice cubes and a huge tablespoon. I could almost taste the coffee in it if I focused hard enough.... When mentioned to the staff, they did say that there was already two shots of espresso in the coffee (definitely not possible looking at the color and the lack of taste), but they did add another shot of espresso upon request.

Overall, it was a pretty lackluster experience....

Amazing place, super pretty, but the worst organization Ive ever seen. Its really a shame.

Edit: I think excuses are not the way to go, its not logical to me to make people order and pay in the entrance creating a long queue in the little entrance. Also not logical to say 1 açái bowl is gonna be around 1h when the place is almost empty. And even worst, the person that was attending the people, really didnt show any kind of empathy, mabye not a good vibes/smile day for her.

Anyway, ill raise the score because its obvius that this place has a great potencial and ill hope to have a better experience sometime in the...

Easter Sunday “brunch” disappointment. Brunch consisted of one cold boiled egg, a strange white cold bread pancake, and a tasteless cake. The coffee was good, and I was given a bottle of tap water—but no glasses. All tables upstairs were reserved, so I was seated in the cellar, surrounded by plant fertilisers and pots. It was cold and humid, but I decided to stay, hoping for a warm egg and a nice piece of bread. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming and the overall experience quite unpleasant. The only redeeming feature was the concept—a café among plants is a lovely idea. Pity it didn’t...
