Tempted by the discount, it was the first time we booked over "The Fork", maybe the last. With our 2 daughters, 9 and 11, we ordered just the main course for all four and drinks. We were informed at the end, at payment, that the discount applies only on starer + main + desert. So to keep it short, we paid full for an overpriced, not so special dinner. But maybe it is only our disapointment speaking, you should try it yourself...

We did have to wait a bit to get a table, but I have to say that the staff was really perfect- funny and apologetic, as well as very helpful (the place is tiny and we had 2 large suitcases that they somehow found a place to store them in). I'm not a huge fan of truffles, but they use what seems to be just the right amount so it is not overpowering, only tasty. The langoustines in pastis were tiny but there were many of them,which made for a rather tedious and messy meal to get at the meat- but delicious. The a la carte menu is pricey, probably because of the big discount you get through the booking sites. Definitely worth going.

Having read some of the reviews, I called back and asked why. I was told they were too busy. When I asked if it was really going to be 21h15 (my husband is diabetic so we need to monitor what and when he eats), the response was rather evasive. I didn't argue over the phone but proceeded to cancel my booking with The Fork and went somewhere else as I didn't have a good feeling about the place. I then went straight back on to try and book a table for 21h00 ( I obviously didn't proceed, just wanted to test) and it was available!! A real shame for the chef who is obviously very talented, but front of house is definitely a no go area. If you can't organize your bookings, don't accept them.
