Maybe it was the wrong day. I am not generally snobby and I love everything from basic street food to starred places but going to the michelin starred restaurant sets some expectations. Not necessarily a luxury every time but at a minimum some attention to detail in certain areas- be it food or service or something else memorable. In our experience we really struggled to see anything remotely worth a Michelin star or even a mention apart from elevated prices of some items (main courses were somewhat reasonably priced). The food was acceptable for an affordable bistro but not at 1 * level, and the service was just so so- polite but attention do detail was certainly lacking, they were friendly but a bit inconsistent and not attentive. I was trying to order some wine for the long time although I had already asked someone when ordering food but it took forever to get their attention and I was sitting hthough haf the meal without a drink. Same with the bill- in the end we just went to pay at the counter after wating for some time and failing to get someone to come. This would be perfectly fine in the busy bistro in the train station but not in the starred restaurant. I really don't mind paying extra when you know there is a some effort and knowledge involved but this was definitely overpriced for what you get. Another thing- they serve a little desert after the meal but as I went to the toilet- I saw all those little deserts layed out in the open next to the entrance to the toilet in the summer heat. Come on 🤦🏻♂️! I ordered the slice of tart and it was burned to charcoal on one side, bottom really overcooked. Sorry but when they charge close to 20 euros for a slice, it should be at a minimum baked correctly or taken off the menu if baking failed that day. To top it all- I checked the bill when we got home and some prices on the bill were a couple euros higher than marked on the menu. Not a big deal but unpleasant. Some reviews of this place are good so maybe the chef and the management were all on holiday and we hit the worst day of the year… 😁 but judging from our experience (and also some friends who have been there on other occasion) it was by far the worst michellin starred restaurant we have been to and in my own experience Guillou campagne would not come on the "want to go back" list even if it was an averagely priced restaurant. Michelin should definetely revisit this place to check if they really want to still have them on...
Read moreI visited Guillou Campagne in Schouweiler, a 1-star Michelin restaurant, and while the experience was enjoyable, it didn’t fully live up to what I expected from a place with this distinction.
I went for a glass of recommended wine, the warm tartine with pig feet as a starter, the Feuilleté aux 3 viandes as my main, and the gaufre for dessert.
The starter was very good, a great balance of flavors and textures.
The main dish was also solid, well-executed, and enjoyable.
The dessert, however, felt quite bland—nothing particularly bad, just not as interesting as the rest of the meal.
What did stand out positively was the service—attentive and professional—as well as the beautiful interior, which gives off the feel of a super cozy country house. It’s definitely a great setting for a high-end dining experience.
I paid €120 for everything, which is expensive but not shockingly high for an upscale French restaurant. However, given the Michelin star, I was expecting something a bit more elevated in terms of flavors and creativity. The quality was good, but it didn’t have the wow factor I’d expect from this level of dining. Also, the lack of a course menu surprised me, as most Michelin-starred spots tend to offer one.
Overall, 4/5—a very pretty place with great service, solid food, but nothing that truly stood out. Worth visiting for the ambiance, but don’t expect a mind-blowing...
Read moreJe n’ai jamais réservé au restaurant Guillou Campagne. Pourtant, j’ai reçu un message vocal me demandant de rappeler au sujet de "ma réservation", sans autre détail. J’ai donc rappelé pour comprendre de quoi il s’agissait. La personne m’informe qu’il s’agit d’une réservation pour un mariage. Je précise que je ne suis absolument pas concernée : je n’ai aucune réservation en cours ni de mariage prévu. Elle lit mon numéro, que je confirme, mais je lui explique que c’est une erreur. Elle insiste alors pour connaître mon nom, ce que je refuse par précaution, compte tenu des nombreuses arnaques téléphoniques actuelles. Je précise clairement que je ne suis pas la bonne personne. Alors que je m’apprêtais à conclure l’appel, elle me interrompt pour redemander à nouveau mon nom, ce que je ne comprenais pas : ma parole aurait dû suffire, et je n’avais aucune raison de fournir mes données pour une réservation qui ne me concerne pas. L’appel a duré à peine 40 secondes, ce qui était amplement suffisant pour constater qu’il s’agissait d’une erreur de numéro. J’ai donc décidé d’y mettre fin en disant simplement : « Je ne suis pas la bonne personne. Bonne journée. » Je ne voulais pas prolonger inutilement une conversation non pertinente, d’autant plus que c’était un dimanche, que j’étais en famille et sur le point de passer à table. Et honnêtement, les sujets de réservation peuvent être gérés en semaine, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’un mariage où les professionnels échangent normalement par email – un canal plus fiable pour retrouver la bonne personne. Par la suite, j’ai reçu trois appels supplémentaires du numéro du restaurant. Sur les conseils de mes proches, j’ai décidé de bloquer le numéro, trouvant la situation étrange. Mais ce n’était pas terminé : j’ai reçu un SMS extrêmement insultant, suivi d’un appel agressif, cette fois depuis un autre numéro. Il s’agissait de la même personne, qui a utilisé son téléphone personnel pour me recontacter et m’insulter. Et tout cela, simplement parce que j’ai dit que ce n’était pas ma réservation et que j’ai refusé de donner mon nom. Je précise que je n’ai jamais insulté ou manqué de respect à qui que ce soit. J’ai été simplent claire, et je voulais pas dire mon nom. Et pourtant, la personne m’a adressé des propos très graves et déplacés. Il semble que cette personne ait mal pris qu’on lui fasse remarquer une erreur, et que son ego ait été touché au point de réagir de manière totalement...
