Le Bistro des Glycines — Restaurant in Sarlat-la-Canéda

It seems all the good reviews are from the French and any complaints come from non-French people, like us. We can manage in French but our accent (English Canadian) gives us away so when they ask us if we speak English we switch back to English. Three different people came and took our drink order like we were some kind of « English » speaking exhibit as in “Go and listen to them order their drinks in English. It will be good practice for you”. I have to admit the food was delicious and worthy of the Michelin designation but those who were seated after us had their food before us!! We were not impressed! Even though four people took our drink order, no one seemed to pay much attention to looking after us after that and we had to catch a waiter’s eye for any reason after that. Shouldn’t serving and treating all customers the same be part of that...

It was so fantastic! Beautiful room with large windows. Benoit, one of the waiters, was so friendly and helpful! The perfect waiter! The food was magnificent! The foie gras was the best we have had in France. The risotto w/ mint and hazelnuts was also so delicious. The gnocchi with cheese and truffles was excellent but quite small for a main course. The chicken w polenta was also magnificent. Desserts were very good too. All of the food was so gorgeously presented and tasty. There is a Bernaise mountain dog named Ted who lives in the attached hotel - sweet but shy. We will come back for dinner tonight...

la cuisine proposée est plutôt savoureuse et bien exécutée, avec des produits de qualité et des assiettes visuellement soignées. Chaque plat révèle un savoir-faire, et on sent l’attention portée aux saveurs et aux textures (comme la "Poularde farcie au Foie-gras, sauce Albufera & Truffe noire" /le supplément à 12€ ne se justifie pas.)

Cependant, l’addition peut vite grimper en raison des nombreux suppléments. Que ce soit pour un accompagnement un peu plus gourmand ou même certains desserts, chaque ajout se paie. Si l’expérience reste agréable, cette politique tarifaire peut donner une impression un...
