Les Chimères — Restaurant in Toulouse

Our les chimères experience started yesterday in the evening. We picked up some friends at the Blagnac airport and we we went to our place. They left their stuff at our and we went out for a couple of drinks. So in other words we had a very nice evening out.

The day after we woke up around noon and we directly decided to go to the restaurant. Our order wasn’t that special; we just ordered 4 steak tartars, 4 cokes and 4 coffees. But the coffees never came, I think the waitress did not take it serious. So we were already a little bit disappointed. The food came very fast which was a bit suspicious. The first thing we noticed was that the steak tartar was not mixed at all?? We had to play chef ourselves. Is this a restaurant? I felt like a handyman (Bob the builder). I even saw a little bit of egg white on my meat?? After a moment of tartare making we were ready to eat. So everything went well and I tried the tomato, it tasted like a sponge. I will not recommend eating the tomato at all. On the other hand the salad was quite nice with a nice dressing. Another point of dissatisfaction were the french fries, they were sloppy (zuipen poepen en den baarrechoem). After lunch we tried again to order the coffee and it was nice. I would recommend this place to...

Service was terribly slow, the young guy that was working seemed to want to do anything else except come and give us a menu (I had to go and get that myself) and it took an age for him to actually take our order. 2 x vegetarian burgers for my wife and I. The fries were good but the burger was a letdown. Some onion relish, a vege pattie and a slice gherkin. No lettuce or tomato... although there was lettuce on the plate as a side salad. Then nobody to bring our bill, soni went inside. 40€ for 2 burgers a bottle of sparkling water and a juice. From my 50€ note I got a 5 € & 2 x 2€ & a 1€ - I guess so it was easy to leave a tip. Well here is my tip - provide service and you may get some €€€€'s instead of...

The food is okay but service couldn’t be worse. I needed to wait 15 min until I was served. I ordered a small breakfast menu for €4.5. After another 15 min I got only coffee and juice, and was informed that they don’t have any croissant. I tried to order something else but the waiter suddenly forgot how to speak English and was offended by the fact that I don’t speak French. When it came to the payment, I needed to pay full amount. To make it worse, there were fresh croissants laying on the bar. That was one of the most lazy and rude services I ever...
