Club Gascon review by Marianne Headey

This was a huge disappointment. We are used to eating at Michelin-starred restaurants aswell as more ordinary establishments, this is an expensive restaurant but for an enjoyable experience we would not have minded one bit. The service was appauling: slow, inattentive and non-soignee. When we left the restaurant we went to the bathroom and found our coats slung on the sofa by the door, no one bothered to come and say goodbye or thankyou.

As for the food: very, very rich. By plate 2 of the 3 you are advised to take I had had enough and I was unconvinced by some of the flavour combinations. My steak dish simply did not work. The restaurant is small and without any character whatsoever, this did not serve as a plain backdrop upon which the food was the contrast, taking centre stage, it just looked like they hadn't bothered and we were stuck in some half-finished room in the corner of the market. There was no air of luxury or refinement, however simple.

Go once if you must, I won't be there.
