COMPTOIR 44

I hesitate to review a restaurant without trying their food, however a dining "experience" begins and ends with the overall "feel" of an establishment.

If we do not feel welcomed, if we do not feel comfortable, if we do not feel valued... why would we stay?

We arrived 5 minutes early and were turned away.... alternatively, we could have been welcomed into the restaurant, seated and advised that someone would be with us shortly. No. We were turned away and told to come back later.

OK. We complied with the request and came back on time, only to be squeezed onto an unbalanced table beside another couple when there was ample seating in an otherwise empty room?

We were moved but seemingly under sufferance.

The menu was not explained, just referred to a wooden QR code.

Suffice to say, after all the above combined, we were NOT feeling welcomed nor valued as customers to this establishment.

When compared to our previously excellent experience with Lille restaurants both last night and tonight (see my othe Lille reviews, but understand I am a private citizen without an interest in any place) the service, the attention, the friendliness and ambience was "chalk and cheese" when compared to this restaurant.

The food may well be great, we dont know, because we didnt get to sample it as the welcome, the service and the overall "feel" was sub-par to what we expect of a quality restaurant regardless.of price point or location.

Au top très bon conseil le prix est justifier

Tout était très bon, spécialement le magret et son risotto d'épeautre! Un pic saint loup frais et léger pour accompagner ce déjeuner. Un lieu dont l'ambiance soignée et drôle apporte la touche de plus!

Très bonne expérience, nous recommandons. Personnel très sympathique. Très bonne cuisine et arrangeante pour les femmes enceintes.

We had a good lunch with a menu and a la carte dishes
