Restaurant Le Bon Vivre — Restaurant in Toulouse

Wanting to try Cassoulet, the local dish, I was ready to wait for 20 minutes as the waiter said that is the time it takes to cook. It is not the sophisticated option, beans and meats stew, but it came on a terracotta pot and it looked and tasted good - if a little too rich.

I just find 23.00 € for a bean stew a little dear. The high numbers on the price list were also confirmed when a couple of women next table complained about paying 40 odd euros for a bottle of regular wine - the glass bottle was nice I must say. The waiter said that is the price on the wine list. They also mentioned their dishes were average - but not to the waiter.

Service was not to write home about either - the first drink came after 3 reminders and took its time - chairs outdoors are very simple and not too comfortable, ... indoors is traditional, beautiful and cosy. The food took longer than mentioned and the waiter offered a plate of nice ham and apologise for the wait.

Le Bon Vivre - the Good Life. I would too with this...

Worst experience in France to date! Appalling service, poor food. Despite not being very busy at the time, had to remind them about drinks - took 15 mins after ordering drinks for unopened bottles of Orangina to eventually be brought out! Had to wait another hour for food! After about 40 mins of enquiries, food finally arrived. Toulouse sausages were okay, fries were nice, aubergine was completely tasteless; omelette was overdone on the outside and severely undercooked (by French standards) on the inside. Had to ask for it to be cooked more. Plate was plonked on the table, returned burned (black) on parts of the underside, although some of it was edible. After nearly 2 hours of being mostly absent or obviously ignoring her customers, the waitress seemed surprised we had no interest in ordering dessert from them... couldn't get out of there fast enough. Completely...

I give the rating 1/5 because unfortunately the rating 0/5 does not exist the waiting time in this restaurant is much too long the staff is very poorly organized it is a disaster now the worst was my dish that i received with a hair i wonder the hygiene of the kitchen which I am sure must be disgusting like my dish and in addition the chicken not cooked to the limit of raw and which we cannot even cut even a dog doesn't eat that i would have been better off eating at McDonald's since it's tastier and cleaner I wonder how people manage to eat there but i’m sure they themselves don't know good food and the people who are reading the comments flee this restaurant and don't trust the positive comments people don't even know what they are eating it's better to open a can of tuna at home rather than go to...
