La Dame au Cerf — Restaurant in Nice

I've waited an hour. Yes, a whole HOUR for a single small crêpe.

Sitting on a very uncomfortable stool in the corner, with nothing to look at but the beautiful but somber contemplating head sculpture on the table, I had so much time here that I too started to contemplate. Maybe this sculpture is actually another customer who had been waiting so long for her crepe that she turned into stone?

There were only three occupied tables beside me and the menu was very small, so I really can't find a reason for this absurd delay. Clearly something needs to change. Maybe make multiple similar dishes at the same time? Maybe prepare some things beforehand? In hindsight I think that maybe the owner/cook told me it would take a long time but spoke so quietly that unfortunately I couldn't understand a word. A written menu with a clear warning would have been better (written menu is better than menu on glass anyway), or giving appetizers or something. (Or simply making dishes faster..) .

After all that, the crêpe itself was fine. Not bad, nothing special. The side salad had too much lettuce and only a drizzle of balsamic vinegar as dressing.

Being a vegan in France, ce n'est...

I really wish I could rate this place more, but wanted to be honest for the next guests visiting. We love trying new vegan spots while traveling as we’re both vegan with my friend, but we were so disappointed with this place… Nothing was good here — food, drinks, service, even bathrooms… the interior was pretty cozy, but that’s about it… the eggs in my omelette were pretty raw inside, but I noticed it too late, I ate a lot of it and had a stomachache afterwards, however the food looked beautiful. My friend’s sandwich (panini) was okay, however she had a hair and a bunch of weird little dirts soaking in her lemonade and on top of that we kind of felt bad that we even came there and the only person working there had to take our orders speaking so quiet we couldn’t understand a word 😭. Would love to recommend every vegan place I visit but I definitely can’t. Sorry! Hope it helps...

It is unfortunate that I have to write this review as I believe all vegan places should be celebrated and supported (so few of them) but this was truly a bad food experience. I hope they will read it and reevaluate their approach. I had some dish that was mostly just rice. It looked great (see the picture) but it was so much rice and very few other ingredients so it felt dry and tasteless. Another thing is that I got a HAIR in my muffin (also had high expectations for the muffin that tasted good until I saw a hair). I am not sure what the rules are in France but in other countries the stuff should offer a refund if you find a hair and instead they asked me if I want something else to replace the muffin. Lol. No I don't want to eat here anymore :D. Unfortunately it was a waste of money and I was very hyped for the place...
