I
visited
last
weekend
and
felt
very
let
down
by
my
experience.
A
very
disappointing
meal
in
what
is
otherwise
a
tremendous
city
of
gourmand
restaurants.
I
opted
for
one
of
the
"specials"
which
was
muscles
served
with
chips/fries,
followed
by
a
chocolate
crepe
and
served
with
a
beer.
This
package
meal
totalled
around
€18
and
fell
short
of
expectations.
Although
the
portion
of
muscles
was
generous,
they
were
served
in
a
bland
and
tasteless
stock,
consisting
of
little
else
but
cloudy
water,
boiled
raw
onion
and
a
hint
of
indistinct
green
herbs
which
did
nothing
to
improve
the
flavour
(or
lack
thereof).
One
might
expect
some
bread
to
be
served
with
the
meal,
to
soak
up
the
juices
and
help
satisfy
the
appetite
—
but
none
appeared!
No
great
loss,
as
the
"gruel"
would
not
only
have
reduced
the
appeal
of
the
bread.
To
contrast,
the
chocolate
crepe
was
delicious,
warm
and
moreish.
Unfortunately
it
was
not
enough
to
make
up
for
the
very
poor
main
course.
This
is
a
well-located
business,
near
to
the
Gates
of
the
City,
and
no
doubt
has
significant
daily
revenues
from
the
scores
of
tourists
who
pass
by,
but
I
don't
imagine
that
many
of
the
patrons
are
return
customers,
unless
attending
for
drinks
alone.
The
drinks
selection
is
good,
and
includes
some
local
beers
(one
of
which
I
sampled
and
enjoyed).
In
short,
nice
ambience,
good
service,
excellent
location,
and
tasty
crepes
—
but
don't
come
expecting
a
satisfying
meal!
