Restaurant Sébastopol — Restaurant in Lille

Food was okay, but not amazing or very exciting. Started of with tuna tartare with mango. The taste was a bit blend and it was missing a bit of texture. Then we had the 64 degree egg with fois gras. When mentioned that I was not the biggest fan of fois, there was no different option available, only to take the fois (one of the main elements) of my plate. Would have loved a bit more inspiration on their behalf. As a main course we had beef, which was nice. However, it barely came with any sauce, just a few drops of what tasted like Ketchap manis. The dessert was also alright, not very special, but the taste was good.

Staff was sweet, but very inexperienced and young. When asked for olive oil they said that they did not have oil. Which restaurant does not have oil, I wonder. We had to keep our cuttlery for every course, even though for the main we were eating beef (makes sense to me to switch cuttlery, right?) All in all the food was not bad, but definitely not special either. When the check came we saw that we had to pay 8 euros for a bottle of sparkling water, bit overprized.

Big plus was that our dog was allowed to...

We’ve really wanted to get to this restaurant bc it was highly recommended by all of our friends. Unfortunately, we didn’t understand why. We decided to order a light meal with drinks, got 2 cocktails, 2 beers, water and coke, as well as food. So we were really surprised to get only 1 cocktail and a beer. After a 30-minute wait and served food we asked again and the waiter got us the drinks. But the wrong ones, unfortunately. And not all of them AGAIN. At this point I realized that I’ll never try the desert ( and of course, the waiter forgot about it) and we had no desire to stay in the place where a waiter can’t even write down your order properly. Final thoughts: the food was plain and boring, we didn’t get to try the desert because the waiter forgot 50% of our order. That’s a shame, because when your food is really mediocre and overpriced you should at least have good service :( Oh and the picture, that’s a cocktail with BLUEBERRIES, ladies...

Overrated restaurant - nice food but poor service.

We ordered two starters and two mains (veal and cod). While the food was fine, it was served quite slowly. We were the first to arrive for dinner, but after finishing our starters, it took at least 45 minutes for the mains to arrive. No one checked in with us to ask how the meal was, and it was clear that the front of house was overwhelmed because the kitchen couldn’t keep up with orders.

What disappointed us most was the wait after finishing our mains. Despite making eye contact several times, we waited over 30 minutes with the empty plates still on the table. When we finally asked for the dessert menu, they brought us the bill instead. It made us wonder what the point of that...
