Bistro Double Review Summary

Food was a bit above average. One unfortunate thing for me was I felt there was a bit too much sauce on my meat that it was hard to enjoy it fully.
Location and vibe were great. Outdoor seats are perfect in nice weather, esp as the road for cars was more than a few meters away and there isn’t too much foot traffic either.
Service was a bit slow. It took a long while for menu and eventually the food to arrive. I was also offered more baguette which I said yes to, but it never came. All outdoor seats were being served by only 1 staff, even during peak lunch hour.

Cosy atmosphere. Nice food. Lunch meals are good value. There is a nearly 30% discount for specified lunch sets on rainy days - even better value! They have an off-menu foie-gras hamburger for lunch which is quite good, but gets sold out quickly.

It was +37. We came the very first at the store’s opening. We were rejected when asked to sit in shaded place on the terrace. We were seated at a table with half of shade. As soon as we sat down, the store folded the sunroof. It seems like they want to make your visit as uncomfortable as possible. We left as soon as the sunroof was closed, with bitterness and the store staff did not say anything to us and did not apologize.

Slow and unfriendly service. No greeting upon entrance and was made to wait/ignored when there were many seats available. Was asked if I was ready to order immediately after seated when I hadn’t had the chance to review the menu. Waitress did not know the menu. Was sat at the corner where staff had to come in and out to retrieve the food from storage. It is a shame as I had a lovely experience here before for lunch and I had returned with positive expectation.

The dishes were nice but we were not very happy with the services;
- It took nearly 10 mins to bring the menu to our table
- There was something (a small brown floating thing..) in a glass of wine. When we asked to replace it, they only said “sorry” and brought a new glass of wine without further words
- The waiter who seemed specifically taking orders from our table wasn’t trained enough and didn’t know the menu. He said to us “sorry but I’m still not familiar with the system here”.
- We were asked to pay the bill and leave while we were still eating our dessert and having a coffee.
- There is not enough space between the tables. Our table was just next to a group of 4 people talking loud and we had to talk each other loud too (otherwise we couldn’t hear each other). Overall it wasn’t a cozy, relaxing dinner for us.
In conclusion, it’s not worth to go.
