Le Tavaillon — Restaurant in Thonon-les-Bains

We stopped by to watch a football game that was advertised as being shown. The game was on the screens when we walked in. However, upon entering, we were informed that we must order food.

After waiting for our drinks, we finally received some menus. We attempted to order food and drinks at the bar, but were instructed by the brunette bartender to sit back down. Despite waiting for quite some time, nobody returned to take our order. It seemed impossible to even get a drink here, let alone get drunk if one desired.

After reminding them about the food requirement, we were informed that the kitchen was busy with five other tables. Despite ordering a beer twice, it still hadn't arrived.

By the time the match reached the 60-minute mark, they abruptly turned off the football for a rugby match, which, to be fair, might have been understandable if there were any people there to watch, with only four tables now occupied, only two of which were watching the football game.

Frustrated by the poor service and attitude, and with no sign of our food, we contemplated leaving.

The decision upset all the tables, but they refused to turn the football back on, despite the bar being empty and no one watching any screens at that point. A 14-year-old boy was disappointed when the football was turned off, comparing the empty bar to the 'Etihad'—a humorous observation that got a good laugh.

When our food did arrive, the burger was swimming in cheese and the salad was drenched in dressing.

Apparently, the owner, who was nowhere to be seen, demanded that the rugby be shown, watching from numerous cameras.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and we definitely won't be returning. It was a complete mess, and if we hadn't made a fuss, we might have ended up starving, despite being told we had...

On s'installe, un serveur pas souriant nous demande ce que nous voulons " - un coca zéro et un schweps agrume, s'il vous plaît. Schweppes agrumes, j ai pas ! 2 cocas zéro alors !" Le serveur repart. Il revient quelques minutes plus tard avec 2 verres de cocas zéro éventés. Pas de canette... 3€50 le verre, c est un peu abusé. Mais bon, sur la note, il annonce 33cl de coca alors pourquoi pas ! Cependant après vérification le verre ne fait qu une vingtaine de cl. On a vraiment l impression de se faire arnaquer ! J en avise le serveur qui, avec une tête qui ferait frémir une porte de prison, finit par nous offrir nos boissons, reconnaissant, à mes yeux, la tentative d arnaque. Bref nous y reviendrons plus. Pour l histoire, nous sommes allés consommer un vrai coca plus loin que nous avons payé 4€,...

Si “vacances” rime avec “patience”, vous êtes au bon endroit. Si vous rêvez de passer des heures en terrasse à contempler le temps qui passe pendant que votre estomac crie famine, c’est l’adresse parfaite. En revanche, si vous comptiez skier… fuyez.

Ici, la haute gastronomie atteint des sommets : 2 heures d’attente pour un burger au pain carbonisé. Une expérience culinaire inoubliable…

Bien sûr, nous avons tenté d’exprimer notre mécontentement aux responsables, dans un dernier élan de bonne foi. Leur réponse ? Un geste commercial d’une générosité sans précédent : réduire la note de 155€ à 150€. Quel panache !

Bref, une adresse à éviter absolument, sauf si vous aimez les tests de patience...
