  • 3/5 Darya Y. 1 year ago on Google • 33 reviews
    This place didn't live up to expectations. I was expecting a modern roof top, but this place is more like your grandmother's garden with a view of the city. The interior is outdated, as are the decorations. The food was on 3,5. Photos in Google do not meet the requirements of the menu. So if you want fish, you won't find it there. The pasta was overcooked and had almost no taste, only the parmesan saved, the burger was not bad, but not something super. All prices are around 25€ , but nearby you can find a restaurant with a Michelin star and there will be the same prices but the taste is much brighter. In a word, here is a simple meal that is clearly prepared by a novice chef. The audience is mostly from the hotel and aged. The service was warm and attentive. I liked the view of the city.

    (Translated by Google) As welcoming as an ice cube the place is perfect for a corporate seminar in the funeral parlor. (Original) Aussi accueillant qu'un glaçon l'endroit est parfait pour un séminaire d'entreprise dans les pompes funèbres.

    Great view, great wine.

  • 2/5 MK G. 1 year ago on Google • 117 reviews
    Expensive, nothing tasted good, neither drinks nor food. Since there are very few choices, you would hope that they would be confident in the 5 things they make overall, but it's very underwhelming. The staff is very lovely but it's not a 4 star experience.

    Went for a drink on the top floor of the Splendid Hotel. Great view from the top, although it is a bit cramped for a group. Staff are friendly and helpful, but drinks not cheap at 8€ for a glass of rose wine.

    Ended up here on a busy August night, when our party of nine had no reservation anywhere for dinner. After scolding us for trying to book such a large table last minute, they were able to accommodate us :) Food was generally good - though the price does include the (fantastic) view of the city from the rooftop. Service was attentive - we were all pleased.

  • 3/5 Space O. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The view from the rooftop is quite nice and the receptionist extremely helpful and smiling. Unfortunately, this is not the case for the bartender who alone at the rooftop takes himself for god and is extremely unfriendly. By itself it makes this beautiful place unpleasant it is a shame but we will not go back anymore and prefer to go to the Plaza or the Aston which also have beautiful terraces. (Original) Le vue du rooftop est assez sympa et le réceptionniste extrêmement serviable et souriant. Ce n'est malheureusement pas le cas du barman qui seul au rooftop se prend pour dieu et est extrêmement antipathique. À lui seul il rend ce bel endroit désagréable c'est dommage mais nous n'y retournerons plus et préférerons aller au Plaza ou à l'Aston qui ont aussi de belles terrasses.
