We have eaten here quite a few times over the years but it seems that it has gone downhill a bit. When spending 700 per person, things should be right - they weren’t. Table by the window had a chill to it - not from the window, but every minute or two from an overhead vent. Wife had the scallops which were excellently cooked, but lacking in taste. We both had the entrecôte- I ordered medium rare, wife ordered medium, but both were served medium. Hers had double the needed amount of salt and mine had none. Crème brûlée for dessert - for 100 sek, you expect a nice hard finish on the top, but these were torched earlier in the day and the surface was lacking.
This has been one of our family favorite restaurants for the last five years due to the reasonable prices and good food. But it seems that the fixed price menu has gone up substantially in cost and you are no longer given choices but are stuck with the daily dish.
I did not recognise any of the wait staff and the plating of my rabiff also seemed different than in the past. Maybe there is new owners or management? Tables for two also seemed crammed in. I think it is time to start exploring other options in Lund. We will probably go back at some point, but it is no longer our...

Read moreThis "Old French" restaurant would be very ordinary in France where I live. The menu choice is small, which is promising, but the promise is not fulfilled. I had the moules frites main course; the mussels were rather small, a little dry (no wine sauce?) and perhaps not very fresh, but the potato chips were fine. My wife had the grilled seabass, which again I found dry and not very fresh. This was disappointing for a town so near the sea. I had to ask for ordinary water, for which we were charged, in addition to our beer and cidre, and there was no bread, as there would be in France. The desert choice was not promising, so we had cheese and icecream, which was fine. But it's difficult to find a real restaurant in Lund, and finally we found the popular Sushi places...
