VUE SUR GINDOU

Très bonne cuisine, excellent accueil.
Cadre très agréable. Tarifs des vins très abordables.

A great restaurant nestled away in a fantastic old barn. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. The owner even come to talk to us which was a nice touch. The toilets were very clean and modern which goes a long way too!

Edit: I am stunned by your attitude mister Philippe. That is not how you react to critique. I have noticed previous reactions towards people who weren't satisfied.
You tell them they're idiots and need to see a doctor. You already have your opinion ready when your customers enter your place. Wow.. that's childish.
Also I'm not a influencer, that's disgusting.

It has been a long time I've left a restaurant with a disappointed stomach.
The menu Is 35 per person.
You'd expect a reasonable portion per dish.

Maybe we've ordered the wrong dishes.

First of all, we were greeted with a warm welcome, the restaurant looks amazing and staff is very friendly.

As starters 2 had the tuna which was delicious, looked amazing and had a reasonable portion too.

One had salmon.. which sadly were just 1 smoked salmon slice and a bit of sauce on top.

The other person had Thom Kha, very lemony taste but overall.. pretty fair and tasty.

The main dishes were for me.. very disappointing.
How dare.. to serve such small and tiny portion of mushy mess in a pot.
The curry was thin and the only taste was spice. The meat inside was overcooked, very chewy.

The salmon dish served with creamy risotto with Asperge and peas was unexpected. It had a special taste, not bad but not good either. The salmon was very overcooked.

the dishes were super tiny and the portions were not the same.

The first main dish, meaty gravy with alot of fat and white beans. Too fat.. would have been better if the fats were filtered. There were bones in this too

I do not recommend the creme brulee. That is not how you make creme brulee. The inside was just.. how you would buy creme in a store. Not risen.. very flat.

what I did like we're the ice cream balls itself. I had a tasty chocolate and caramel one.

I do not recommend this restaurant.

This was our second meal at Vue Sur Gindou and it was a complete and utter disappointment. The extensive menu had been replaced by a very limited "formula" on a chalkboard. The food this time was just plain bad. Although the menu clearly stated "avec riz" we had to debate this with the waitress who informed us we could order rice at an additional price. WORST OF ALL: When we stated that our daughter had a severe allergy to the walnuts on her foie gras, she simply tried to remove them and re-serve it -- with pieces of walnut still visible... The old saying: A fish stinks from the head down could not be more true. My hope is that they have a new owner/chef as it's hard to imagine how this restaurant could have fallen so far so fast.

*Just read this response from the owner after a similar bad review:
Response from the owner 9 months ago
Hello Penny,

You might want to think about having dinner in parking areas, a good triangle sandwich or Sodexho pasta seems to suit you well.
A psychologist might be able to help you.

**I just received a response from Phillipe, the owner... You should know who you are dealing with and who you are giving your hard-earned money to. A quick check of his responses to criticism will show you how little he thinks of his customers. They are either IDIOTS or CLOWNS or need to see a psychiatrist or, in my case, he wonders if he should take me to court. Did he respond to my review? Did he say my meal did not come with rice? Did he mention that we actually had to show them on their chalkboard that it said: avec riz? No. Did he say he spoke to his waitress regarding her faux pas? No. Did he say he will discuss food allergies and cross-contamination with his cooks and waitresses? No.

But it's not just his customers that Philippe attacks, here are a few things Phil has written about his own employees:
1) Unfortunatly we have to manage our business with very poor skilled staff.
2) I can only be sorry and disappointed with the service.
3) You are right. The service is poor

To one reviewer, Philippe informed them that he had actually taken a photo of their plate. What? The review could not have been written and posted, but he took a photo? To another reviewer he responded that he looked at all of their previous reviews. Who does that? Instead, why isn't he working with his wait-staff that he admits provide poor service?

Cuisiné délicieuse, dans un cadre magnifique.
Merci pour votre accueil et votre service.
