Le Barboteur Restaurant Bar - Lille

A very pleasant setting but BOF on the plate and execrable on the service! Except for the two well-versed and understanding servers of the situation. Reservation for a family meal of 11 covers. After 2 revivals and 1h20 waiting to agree that we have to check with the kitchen what remains exactly to offer. 10 minutes later, the verdict falls ... 2 dishes on the 5 of the map of the day are not available. Alternative proposals are not up to date. A lively exchange with the owner of the places that offer in the kitchen that will not even apologise.

The menu is quite limited, but it is the current trend in restaurants and it is better than endless lists of dishes that can not be all fresh. We took the input/plat formula. But we had to add 4 euros for the meat dish... the paste in the entrance is industrial and covered with too much chutney. The dishes are copious but rather heavy. I would have liked less quantity but much more quality. The servers are very careful. The place is pleasant, but not easy to keep treated at the end of the day.

First time at home. You want a dessert? No, we're waiting for the dish... 1 hour waiting... no excuse... the dishes come too cooked, and the sulphurized fish paper is in the plate. We are told that this is normal.... not paper is edible. No excuse or commercial gesture. It's okay, but I'm not coming back...

I don't usually write about my bad experiences but there are a few things that have deplused me and maybe this return will interest the team (or not). Positive points: the nice location with a beautiful light in the evening my carpaccio was well cooked and seasoned the choice of beer is well The points that have deplused me and explain why I will not go back there: the tartare is served with half patate and clearly it is not quite copied. We're two having taken a cornet of fries and cashadelle an hour later. the baba mojito was treeeeees disappointing and I hope it was a point error otherwise the recipe is really catastrophic. A baba that can be cut to the spoon is obviously not quite imbibed. Moreover he was very fade and felt neither the rum nor the mint. the "happy hour a little petty because when you ask the waiter for a beer in happy, that it checks the time and valid for, at the time of settlement, we see that the 'happy does not apply to the restoration, it's just petty. So we treat the one who comes to drink only the one who just diners... The service was fast and professional but very cold and without real attention, without everything okay? Did it go well? The restaurant was in 3/4 empty so it doesn't cost much. The bill was totally salted. 43€ for 2 pints and 2 dishes and hunger after, it's too much.

Original and qualitative cuisine, fresh products. We were served by Hikmé who contributed to the success of the evening. Lovely, smiling and effective! We'll be back!
