2/5 Mia R. 2 years ago on Google
I
write
this
review
from
the
perspective
of
a
European,
young,
foodie
couple
who
have
traveled
through
South
America
for
half
a
year
and
eaten
at
quite
a
few
restaurants,
of
all
price
classes.
Per
recommendation
of
friends,
we
chose
this
restaurant
as
the
location
for
our
valentines
dinner.
With
100
dollars
lighter,
we
left
this
place
slightly
disappointed.
Location
5/5:
Firstly,
the
location
of
the
restaurant
is
stunning,
nestled
between
dunes,
located
at
the
delta
of
a
beautiful
river-
which
offered
a
magnificent
sunset.
Aesthetic
and
ambiance
4/5:
the
restaurants
design
is
rustic,
the
wooden
furniture
and
lighting
creates
a
beautiful
ambiance
that
reminds
of
the
inside
of
a
ship
or
Viking
longhouse.
The
only
downside
was
the
loud
repetitive
music,
mainly
house
remixes
of
old
pop
songs,
I
counted
a
remix
version
of
the
French
song
Angela,
a
total
of
5
times
during
our
2
hour
stay
at
the
restaurant.
Furthermore,
of
the
5
young,
female
and
clearly
understaffed
waitresses,
two
wore
shorts
that
left
so
little
to
imagination,
that
I
would
hardly
classify
them
as
clothed.
Butt
creases
are
not
the
sight
I
desire
during
a
romantic
dinner
with
my
partner.
Service
3/5:
The
waitresses
were
friendly
but
not
necessarily
attentive
nor
personal,
we
waited
40
minutes
for
someone
to
come
by
to
get
a
chance
to
ask
for
the
check.
We
were
not
asked
wether
the
food
is
to
our
liking.
As
we
left
the
outrageous
bill
was
simply
slapped
in
front
of
us,
by
a
lady
that
wasn’t
even
our
waitress,
as
she
rushed
by.
There
was
no
complimentary
water,
cookie,
mint,
smile
or
“thank
you
for
your
visit”.
Food:
When
it
comes
to
the
food,
it
was
clear
that
the
young
chef,
whom
you
could
see
powering
through
the
kitchen,
knew
what
he
was
doing.
The
quality
of
the
ingredients
was
clearly
as
good
as
it
gets.
Complementary
bread
4/5:
consisting
of
little
warm
scones
served
in
a
wooden
box,
accompanied
by
a
mild
and
welcoming
salmon
pate-
sadly
no
alternative
spread
was
provided
for
my
partner
with
a
fish
allergy,
although
we
specifically
mentioned
it
to
the
waitress.
Starter
5/5:
the
shrimp
with
rice
In
a
creamy
coconut
sauce
was
absolutely
delicious,
balanced
flavours
with
a
welcoming
richness.
Main:
The
risotto
with
seafood
for
850
pesos
(20
USD)
5/5,
was
a
big
portion,
with
plenty
of
mussels,
shrimp
and
baby
squid.
It
was
a
nice
dish-
the
Parmesan
basket
added
a
nice
touch.
Tuna
for
980
pesos
(23USD)
3/5:
The
accompanying
potato
was
average,
lacked
sauce,
the
salad
was
nice
to
look
at
but
essentially
just
leafy
green
and
carrots.
The
red
tuna
steak
itself
was
medium
rare
(as
notified
before),
and
more
than
sufficient
for
one
person.
Although
again,
rather
dry.
Wine
5/5:
The
Sauvignon
Blanc
and
Tanat
by
Garzon
was
great.
300
pesos
per
glass
Dessert
2/5:
450
pesos
(10USD)
the
cheesecake
with
red
fruits,
was
probably
the
menu
item
I
looked
forward
to
the
most.
Instead
of
a
creamy,
rich
bite
of
heaven
we
received
a
baked,
dry
and
rubbery,
humongous
chunk
of
disappointment.
The
fruit
topping
was
overly
sweet,
the
decoration
a
mere
mint
leaf
on
top,
and
my
sadness
inexplicable.
Coffee:
0/5
who
would
have
thought
you
could
pay
100
dollars
for
a
dinner,
and
the
cappuccino
would
be
the
biggest
deal
breaker
of
all.
Not
only
was
this
brew
the
most
expensive,
but
also
the
worst
“cappuccino”
we
tried
in
all
of
South
America.
What
we
received
was
what
tasked
like
a
milky
Americano
made
with
simple
filter
coffee.
We
believe
it
to
be
a
general
consensus
that
a
cappuccino,
no
matter
where
you
are
in
the
world,
costs
somewhere
between
2-5
dollars.
Well
you
haven’t
had
the
pleasure
to
drink
one
at
Burdeos,
where
they
charge
a
whooping
9
dollars
for
one
cappuccino.
I
almost
started
to
cry.
General
consensus
2/5
We
left
this
restaurant
with
a
feeling
of
betrayal.
The
food
(and
coffee)
are
highly
overpriced.
For
almost
100
dollar
we
expected
higher
quality,
service
and
presentation.
If
you
have
money
to
throw
away,
and
desire
an
average
experience
in
a
beautiful
location,
Burdeos
is
the
place
for
you.
