Cafe des Amis review by Anon

I have lived in various countries around the world and this was one of my worst restaurant experiences.

There were 4 of us at dinner, 2 of us received our starters very quickly whilst there was a 30min wait for the remaining 2 starters to arrive. This was followed by a 1 hour wait for the main course. My main course (rabbit) was dry and bland - it really didnt taste of anything.

I ordered the yoghurt sorbet for dessert. It was supposed to come with walnuts which were missing. Upon requesting the missing walnuts, I was presented with a small bowl of crushed biscuits, which on the outset, did look like nuts but were clearly not walnuts!

The waiter and waitress serving us, however, were friendly and nice and also appeared very frustrated themselves about the long delays. The manager, however, was unapologetic. We requested a discount and got the desserts (which were £2 each as we were on a set menu) and a bottle of water free - a huge compensation at £2.80 each. Very dissappointing experience especially when I read all the reviews before booking and they were all good.

All 4 of us agreed that we would not come back again, and would also not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
